The failure of a student depends more on him/her but this can be influenced by other factors.
Teachers can also be partially blamed for a few reasons, which are:
- Teaching method is not good enough for some people to understand or grasp.
- Do not encourage students to ask questions, if they have some doubts in there minds regarding the particular subject being taught to them.
Parents also can be held partially responsible for such failures.
The responsibilities of parents include that of mentally coaching there children to give studies more importance, so that they could be successful. And children should be warned against hazards of bad company.
Bad companies can often lead to downfall of a student. Good education on morals and values of life is what helps a child to understand between good and bad.
So parents and teachers can be partially blamed and not fully. But they play a vital role in re-shaping the ideologies of students.
And if a student is an adult then he/she is mostly at fault because at adultness, experiences teach lots of things to such students apart from brought-up factors and they should learn from such experiences and should develop positive thinking.
Studies require greater concentration and interest in reading and teachers and parents both should emphasize on these things.

I agree with all of this, it's common sense, yet, seems to be an issue in certain areas, so I wanted to get an open forum on the issue.
As a teacher, I realise that most of the problems come from home........... that being the child, lack of discipline, parents that dont encourage studying, children who dont care about work, parents who also dont care bout work( yes I have met a few that say that their child already has a job lined up after school, so why stress!!)
Most students these days are LAZY, they refuse to sit down and even try. Even the school system is getting lazy to KEEP DOWN ( not up) with these lazy students. Students that want to do the work, I push them so that they can at least get the amount of work that is required. The others, just waste everyone's time......... I've fallen back with my class by trying to be superteacher and trying to get through to everyone, which was a mistake.
MIND you there are some cases where it is the teacher's fault, but then again, a child is in school for 15 years, and usually the get one teacher for just one year, so that cant be the reason a child fails at school.
At my school, the IT teacher, is rarely ever there, she only does practicals and never teaches the theory ( which is what comes for written exams). I dont get her, she has the brightest , most disciplined classes in the school and she just comes when she wants.
To answer the question
Child = 50-70%
PArents = depends
Teacher = 10-25%
Other influences = depends

It is not wholely the fault of the student, some teaching institutions are completely lazy in helping students to learn the exact things that are necessary and offer no practical help.
Oh please.
The popular psychology of ''blame your parents for your failures''.
That is just insulting. Do you release how many chidlren are brought up in a horrible families, poor, abusive, yet the children still manage to finish the school and not fail.
Failure is person's fault and nobody else's. Its so much easier to blame other people.

Who's at fault when students fail? The parents, the school, the child, or all of them?
I once almost failed. It was just as much my fault as the teacher's (Man he gives Biology for 10 years and then decides to give maths for one year). The next year with a real teacher for maths I had 80 %.
Draw your own conclusions.

How naive can you get. What do you think makes a person what they are? It's the way they are brought up. Do you really think any of the decisions you make are yours? Who you are is defined by who you're around. Your parents are the backbone to your persona, they set up your personality to be developed in later life by peers and teachers. The way your personality is set up is what leads to your decisions... No one has freewill.
Typical, until you become accountable for your choices you haven't grown up.
Kids are as much of the problem as parents and teachers and Spoony's paragraph helps to illustrate why.

That's the most ignorant statement I have ever seen on this website, to date.
Are you serious? You think everyone has the will and strength to just pull through? You're just generalizing like mad. For all you know, some of these kids get beaten or are forced to work or do other chores while in school, raped, treated terribly, call names and other things similar.
It's actually stupid to completely eliminate circumstance and say failure is always the fault of the primary entity. There will always be a third party, and that can be a general influence or a lead contributer to failure.
