I have always felt and firmly beleive in the fact that, it is not the student who fails school, however it is the school that failed the student. learning this later in life as i went thru the very thing from elementary scholl thru high school, only to find later that between the home life with parents and the lack of desire for school faculty to help, forced me into a position of doing very poorley. However, it also takes a person of constant and honest self evaluation and motivation to pule thru these types of circumstances. Further as we have come to learn in our lifes, we know understand the true meaning of surrounding ourselfs with people that do care, can also make all the difference in pass or fail!
