Do kids fail anymore? I’m not trying to be sarcastic, I’m honestly curious about the way that the education system works these days.

When I was in school, it seemed like things were cut and dry. We’re not talking about some time decades ago. I’ve been out of school for less than 10 years, but it sometimes seems like the entire system of education has changed over the course of the last few years.

When I was in school, I’m pretty sure if you scored lower than a 65, you failed. You had not gained sufficient knowledge of the subjects you were required to know, and therefore you had to repeat the grade or the class in some fashion or at least do something to demonstrate that you had the sufficient knowledge to pass to the next level of study.
