[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 427610, member: 1991"] Shut up and go. It seems to be a feature of the school system (here, too) that kids don't fail. I was amazed that difficult child 3 passed last year. And yesterday his Year Advisor came to speak to me, and let slip that students have to really work hard, to fail. The scores are graded so a kid who gets 10% gets their mark scaled up to a passing grade in the state-based exam system. So why should they bother? And what value is a school qualification? it's not the kid's fault, if the system is teaching them that they can skate by and still graduate. Marg [/QUOTE]
