We need more failures at school by Occams
I see nothing inherently wrong with kids failing a subject. That is what should happen if they don’t learn it. Fear of failure should not drive the selection of subjects. Rather, it should be there to drive the students to learn and teachers to teach.
Failure should be brought back into the education system. We need a lot more of it.
