Student who do not conform to the system fail because they are not behaving appropriately.  They link a lack of progress in school to the behavior of the student.  But is this a legitimate rationalization?

I do not think that we will find any evidence, statistical or otherwise, to support this assertion.  In fact, the evidence is to the contrary.  Many students do get through the education system on behavior alone, but the evidence shows that they have not learned much.

Behavior problems are actually a symptom of the real problem in education.  The only factor that legitimately contributes to a lack of progress in learning is the quality of the learning experience.  Poor quality learning is caused by poor quality learning experiences.
