When a school fails a kid, he feels as if he is not if to par with the other kids that didn't fail. The kid would feel incompetent and maybe even dumb. The kid might not like school as much as he used to, he might not want to learn anymore because he feels that he's not capable of doing so.
I believe if a student fails then the teacher fails with him and so does the school. It's like in any team sport we try to put the blame on someone for the loss of the team. People react differently to opression some might sit there and take it and perhaps start to believe what they say, and others get motivated by it, ti simply prove them wrong. However, for a kid it maybe different. Kids are barely developing their ideas and beliefs. If you fail a kid over and over, eventually, he's going to think that the people trying to help him/her aren't the problem, that he alone is the problem. He's going to grow up thinking "I'm a failure", "I let everybody down" , "I'm a nobody" . This will create a child with low self-esteem and low expectations. He or she will become a conformist.
