Learning is natural but "education" is a human construct.

A lot of people's teaching approach still the same it was actually designed back in the 18th century: a factory-minded model were "one size fits all". But later research (and heck a lot of common sense) has proved that teaching HAS to be valued by those receiving it and highly contextualized in order to be effective. Ignoring the importance of context (like teaching Allan Poe's poetry in Ghana) or people's values towards education (like teaching in a community where "educated" is the unpleasent equivalent of "acting white") is pretending to sow without plowing the terrain; is to ignore the properties of the soil we are trying to groom our seed. "Location" affects every imaginable aspect of education... and yes, that includes "academic performance"

(What a is "academic performance" but a mere quantification of something that has proved not to depict the student intelligence or later success in life?)

How does "teacher's characteristics" affect academic performance? The same way aseller's characteristics affect the buyers behavior: because we are not mere machines and because students are not mere objects... empty jars meant to be filled with whatever trash we want to fill them with disregarding the emotional factor of the teacher-student interaction. Take a walk arround the Roshenthal-Jacobson experiments (where teacher's mind-set and expectations has proved to have a direct impact on students performance) and improve your education approach beyond "grades" and the so-called "academic performance" standarts. We really need that.
