In the article "School would be great if it wasn't for students" by Alfie Kohn, it states that instead of blaming teachers for students failing, we need to start blaming the students. I think this is important because it's not always the students fault that they are failing. Sometime the teachers don't go over what the student needs to know enough or they somehow give a student false information, causing the student to fail. But on the other hand, the student can ask for help or come in on their own time for help. So this can really be a two sided argument. But which side would you pick? If you go into an active school environment like I do everyday, you can hear people talk about how they do in school. Mostly you here negitive coments like "I'm failing this class" or "I'm failing that class." But then you have to wonder why. The answer lies in the class room. How does the student behave? Do they do they're work? Or does the teacher not teach. The answer to why the student is failing lies within those questions.
