People at the academy fail because...

I think they fail because of many reasons. One would be missing a lot of days. if you miss a lot of days, you will not know whats going on. And if you skip because you don't want to go, you may of missed something very important that day. Another reason, the big reason, is excuses. If you don't do something, you have an excuse for everything. Some teachers don't mind and let it go, but that won't happen all the time. And another one is tutoring. If you don't understand it, why don't you go to tutoring. It's as easy as that. I don't think staying after school at least twice a week would hurt. Manly I just guess it is the fact that they don't want to do any of their work. If you really cared about your grades, you make sure they never dropped.
