During my 14yrs as a lecturer in FE it was also my fault if:
A student was late.
A student never brought a note book and pen.
A student was barely literate (I wasn't allowed to be selective at student intake, I was told I could but of course the head of dept wouldn't put that in writing. Bums on seats=money remember).
A student never produced any work.
A student never produced any evidence for their NVQ portfolio (NVQ's now there another thread in it's self).
A student damaged anything in the workshop.
A student got the boot from their workplacement (Usually for being a t##t). After I got them the placement so you can imagine that business would never take another student from me).
All of the above plus more I was dragged over the coals for at one time or another. A student these days is pretty much invincible.
