This is another example of what is wrong with the education system in this country. We are afraid to hold our children accountable for their actions (lack of study and hard work results in failing grades) for fear of hurting their self-esteem. Well, wonder what happens when they get into the real world and their boss (as most mangers) does not subscribe to this line of reasoning?
Maybe the schools I went to when I was younger were not perfect, but at least you understood that if you don't put in any effort, well, I hope you liked the 8th grade, 'cause you are sticking around for another year!
Pitiful.
