A student who ritualistically completes all of their homework assignments with excellent marks, but is entirely unable to pass a test on the subject matter, is a studenthas a teacher who has failed your class.
If a teacher gives out homework and a student masters the homework, then they fail the test… Then the teacher fucked up obviously.
All we can say from the given scenario is that the student has not demonstrated mastery of the subject material.
It could be that the teacher fucked up, and tested improperly. I’ve seen tests that didn’t reflect the subject matter; the teacher failed.
It could be that Mom or Dad were the ones completing the student’s assignments for them all year. The student never actually learned anything; the student failed.
If every student had the same experience, I’d be happy to point fingers at the teacher. But when virtually all her students pass, and this one “workaholic” kid can’t, that’s not on the teacher. That’s on the kid.

(Apparent) hard work is not evidence of mastery.
