By his own admission she did her part by attempting to teach him fractions. The fact that he didn’t learn them is on him. If anything he owes her additional class time come summer.
Go sit in the special section for kids who don’t understand fractions. …I spent a lot of time in that special section, and then I learned the metric system. Never more, special me.
I was amazed at kids who’d skip classes in college. Even given lower tuition in the 70’s, the price per hour of class was too high for me to cut class.

It is not the teacher’s fault if he did not pay attention in class.

I was that kid. I didn’t know anything about Algebra at the start and knew very little at the end. I just couldn’t get it.

Marvin is correct. There’s an old saying, sadly seldom remembered: “If the pupil has not learned, the teacher has not taught.”
