Remember when getting below 70% was failing? What is it now? Or is there no failing these day. I kinda looks like it. Critical thinking skills? What’s that?

Why learn how to think for yourself when they can teach you what to think?

It was always below 60% for me, but I know some schools did make 69% F. But, at many schools the lowest grade that can be assigned is 50%—even for work not handed in. Late work is often graded the same as work handed in on time and tests can be retaken. It’s how schools can have 100% graduation rates even for students who are absent for half of the school year.

Last I heard it's 55%.

If they actually do grades yet.

But don't quote me on that.
