I am not really sure why this would be upsetting. I feel that getting F's on report cards is an outdated custom and serves no purpose except to actually call a child a "FAILURE". I have never heard of any good coming from that. I am from a family of 5 children and the first three dropped out of high school (in part) due to the huge discouragement they got . All three i now think were 2E with amazing potential that never got recognized.. To me it is raising the bar for the education system if children are allowed to retake the test if they get less than 75%. They should not move on unless the material is mastered, and for a lot of kids that takes more effort and more time.
