يبرر، يوضح أسـباب

The phrase you are asking about is "accont for," not "account to." The whole phrase, re-arranged, says, "account for the student's conduct to the student's teachers," which means "give an explanation of the student's conduct to the student's teacher." The word "explanation" here means "reasons behind."

If you wish, I will edit the question heading for you to reflect this understanding.
