The aggregate breaks down like this, loosely:
20% succeed, always. Hackers/nerds, basically.
80% might succeed. They don't have the talent. They succeed or fail on teacher's competence and their own hard work and background.
20% fail, always. Cheaters, people who are constitutionally incapable of getting it, misplaced students, people with health issues, etc.
The 80% is what a teacher can affect. If they don't have the thinking (math/logic) background or the curiosity, they probably won't do well.
Teaching is hard. It's probably the hardest task I've ever done.
Sorry, couldn't resist. :)
10/80/10 would be how I would break it down.
