The long history of blaming the victim in education:
If a child skipped school or “engaged in the mental truancy of mind-wandering, and [developed a] revulsion against the subject, he was held to be at fault. No question was raised as to whether the trouble might lie in the subject-matter or the way in which it was offered.”
-- John Dewey, Experience & Education (1938)
