No motivation. (I remember I was the only one out of my class that really tried to do homeworks, studied, etc. and yet none of them seem to try. They blamed school when they did nothing to help themselves as well.)
They come from poor family background. (Can you really focus at school if you were abused or neglected by your own family member?)
That's only thing I can think of right now. I am sure there's more reasons for what you have asked.

The learning of ASL later is the biggest problem at my school even though we are a BiBi program. When those kids who are delayed graduate from high school with a low reading level, who gets the blame? Us..of course!!! That really pisses me off.
Yes, the Deaf shcools of the old days didnt provide good quality education cuz of all the different methodologies being invented and then ASL was finally recognized as a language its own right by Stokes. It has been a long and slow change since then.
