Valid, but not wholly accurate AM, some teachers are responsible for the failings of their students because they can't get the subject across or have insufficient grounding in a particular subject to teach it well.
Then as you say some parents certainly don't help with their attitudes towards academia, mainly because they themselves were low achievers if at all they took anything away from their time in education.
And finally the child must also be apportioned some blame for lack of achievement in their studies, not necessarily due to outside influences, but their own basic laziness & disinterest.
