Ahahahahaha.
I laugh but it really isn't funny, it's pathetic. I can 100% guarantee that this will make no improvements to the quality of peoples' desire to learn, if anything these people would believe that they are completely immune to failure and so will do even less work. People that continually fail have no desire to learn and revise and so there's little point in these new, and useless methods.
How about we try concentrating on those that do well, giving us a nation with some geniuses and a few retards, rather than what looks like will happen where there'll be some average and some thick. People that don't work now are more likely to begin to work if all the attention is put on those that already work. Or something...

Just that sentence proves you are an idiot.
I weep.
"What happens when an exam is failed but, for example, three-quarters of it is perfectly satisfactorily done? It should be possible to do the other bits as add-ons afterwards and to defer the success of the exam."
Someone should probably tell this woman that 75% is a grade B and 5% off a grade A...

So, failure will become an unword, then? What's next?

Ha ha, your 'failure' to use a comma is ironically amusing.

Anyone else feeling this is uncomfortably similar to Newspeak?
