I failed school totally. I was a dunce at everything. I gained no qualifications at all. Then I went out into the big bad world and started work on a gold mine with a wheelbarrow and shovel. Since then I've learned a trade, made a fortune, taught myself how to do almost anything at all other than rocket science and brain surgery, written computer programs that have had engineers scratching their heads in disbelief....... etc etc. You get the picture? So why did I fail school? I have since discovered that I didn't fail school but that school failed me. Some people learn nothing by being taught. They can only learn when a problem is placed in their lap and its their task to solve it. If other methods of teaching seem to be failing some young people, then find a way of making them their very own teacher and you might be amazed at the results.
