Who is responsible if you fail in exam, it is to be lamed on you or the teacher who had taught you. What is your opinion if percentage of fail is 40% of students, 20% of students and 5% of students along with you.

Teachers can be blamed for 20 percent sometimes. I once had a teacher who was not qualified to teach advanced math. Most of the kids failed their first few weeks. Had any of us thought of studying away from school, we would have done better. Mostly its the student's fault for not trying hard enough. I'm homeschooled and I have an A average. When I went to regular schoo, I had an A-B average. Part of my "bad" grades (Bs) were due to the teacher's teaching method.

Before trying to deside percentage of blame....I would probably ask myself: 1. Was I in class during this lesson and was I paying attention as the teacher talked about it? 2. Did I know and study the material that I was to be tested on to the best of my ability? 3. Did I read each question and give the best answer to the question to the best of my ability? See, I think that it is easy to place the blame for any type of challenge on somebody else....and I guess, occassionally they may actually play a part; But for most of us, if we truly apply ourselves we can achieve whatever we are attempting to do....LIFE IS A LEARNING EXPERIENCE! Hope that this helps...

It is totally the fault of the student. Unless every single student in that class failed the exam - then it is the students fault 100%. They apparently weren't catching on or doing what they should have because others made it fine. It the teacher doesn't do a good job - then that is a problem but the student has resources like their own text book, the library, the internet, and their peers to help them. People should start taking responsibilty for their own actions.
