It sounds crazy when parents complain that their children are dull, can't read, or are not impressed with their performance, and if you monitor the child, you will realize the only time he carries his book is when he is in school.
Most of the students don't open their bag the moment they get home, some parents also don't give their children time to read, they send them on an errand and some even let their child hawk then at the end, you blame the teacher...
When I was in secondary school, there was this boy who took the first position throughout the whole 3 years in ss1 to ss3 and he was the talk of the school, he would represent us when we had quiz competitions with other schools and so on... It was not until our last year in secondary school that I learned that his father was a strict man, after the school classes, he still attended extra lessons and he had no freedom to play around unlike students like me who once I got home, I drop my bag, change my school, eat and dash to the playing field to play ball, no extra lesson.
How unfair would it be to compare me and the most brilliant boy in the class? cos he was dedicated to his studies willingly or not while I was not.

All the teachers loved him as he was good in all the subjects and even we the students would ask him to explain some assignments, during physics class half of the class, felt bored and sleepy, this boy didn't feel sleepy and he actually enjoyed the class, how funny that is to me lol.
The duty of a teacher is to teach, and pass knowledge but they can not enforce it, the student must be willing to learn as well and our parents also have a big role to play regarding this matter... As the teachers do their duty while the children are in school, the parent must also do their own duty when those kids are at home by telling them to pick their books and read... the brilliant ones are those who see reading as a passion and not those who are being forced to read or those forcing themselves to read.
In some cases, it could be the fault of the teacher especially if not a professional teacher or the one who doesn't know the subject he is taking, in the private school sector now, they just employ people without testing how good they are academically because those people are ready to settle for less in term of payment[salary]... So if a teacher who knows nothing is teaching the students, that is the beginning of a blurry future for the kids because he would teach them nothing, he might even skip classes and we all know how student rejoices when their teacher skips classes not knowing it is their future and career they are toying with.
In the end, it is partly the fault of the teachers if students perform poorly, Parent also need to share in the blame because the child spends more time with them.
