Blaming the teacher (A) alone ignores learner, home and system factors.

Blaming the principal (B) is even more remote from individual performance.

Failure may stem from ability, motivation, health, teaching, environment or evaluation combined.

This reflects the multi-causal view of achievement rather than single-factor blame.
