You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink. The nomenclature of education should be updated. Teachers are at best facilitators of learning, students should be classified as learners. The expectation that teachers are the primary drivers of student success or failure is driven by teachers unions who want to claim success and responsibility when students do well, but shirk responsibility and blame when students fail. Both teachers and students have responsibilities in the classroom and I would argue that parents responsibilities outside of the classroom in preparing their students to be receptive learners are even more important.
