Yes, and most of those are from the US with the "Leave
no child behind act" that we must suffer with now.

I was just talking to a electrical instructor in a trade
school where they were called to a meeting to talk about
the 40+ sensors that had failing grades preventing them
from graduating. After the school's superintendent got
done, they all gave the failing students 60's to allow
graduation.
what kind of stupidity is that?

I remember a Properties of Structural Materials class I took, where I was
the top student of about 25. But I only received a semester grade of 3.6 on
a 4.3 scale. I talked to my advisor about this, and he said to remember that
sometimes the instructor is grading himself.
