Just like the "no score" hockey games kids play. What the fuck are they teaching kids about responsibility, and the real world. Your boss won't say "hey yeah, just get that project finished when you get to it." The next generation is gonna be a scary one to watch enter the world of having to pay for themselves and live on their own.

Serious? Dude, I didn't even have those when I was growing up? Now it makes it even look bad to not graduate.

1) Because if you fail at a "no fail" environment, that makes a pretty monumental statement.
2) If you're not smart enough to make use of "free education" moreso in a "no fail" enviromnent, well... let's hope you're smart enough for other things.



And for all of those people who will disagree with me, I guarantee you (OP), there's an equal if not more fair share of people (and employers) who will think likewise.
