What's really appalling, is the way they're not allowed to fail, no matter how badly they're doing, as it might hurt their feelings.

I'll bet they'll have more than hurt feelings.
This isn't an issue if the person lives in the UK. Our nice, nanny state will whisper in the ear of the examining body, and the required standard for a pass will miraculously drop. Not just by enough to maintain current pass rates. No, because then the government can't claim credit for the "improvements" in education. -- Steve Boddy
