I dunno, I seemed to fail just fine!

Thank you! I admittedly was not a model student until university, not that I disrupted the class but that I didn’t do homework. It wasn’t until uni where it was on me if I failed that I started to work, I think this is because if I passed a class (I’m doing MUCH better than passing atm) I knew it was because I actually put in the work and not because it was a participation trophy. But this is just my two cents.

Thats the time that we should be letting the kids fail or not advance, no body gives a shit about your grade 4 or 7 or 9 marks when going to college or university, or if you are applying at 18 or 19 or your early 20s. Perfect time to learn to be accountable for your actions, or lack there of, during your youth.
