Are they? I was under the impression schools push teachers to pass everyone because it makes the school look good and the admin’s salaries high. K-12 i mean.

Thats exactly how teachers are failing students. By not teaching. They arent giving failing grades. They are failing to educate.

This is pretty one dimensional thinking and pretends schools are just teachers making autonomous decisions

I mean teachers are latgely prevented from actually useful tools. Many try their best despite the system theyre in. My comment was just clarifying to Gosling that in this situation 'fail' was more about not reaching a goal rather tha 'giving a bad grade'
