Who is to blame?

Why is it that we often place the blame on the wrong people? I hear quite often that it is the teacher's fault when a student failed to turn in their work or did not do as well as they would have liked on a quiz. On the other hand, students are blamed for their misbehavior, disruption, and lack of attention. With the constant input of negativity when are we able to process anything positive? While I was reading this week I stumbled across something brilliant and honestly, quite simple! The problem can lie in many different factors. Most commonly, we tend to overlook what is going on in the classroom and how that can affect the individual student. Instead of blaming and pointing fingers perhaps, it is time for educators that run into "brick walls" to start looking within their class and see if the answers will reveal themselves.
