I had some 'deferred success' back in High School
-
well i think everyone should live a free life in peace...
-
I saw that on Newsround :D, It's stupid as fuck. If the children fail they should be told they failed not that they "deferred success". They will start thinking it's ok to fail and continue to do so and we will have a generation of idiots.

They should start working with numbers. In Holland for example we get grades from 1-10 and I believe in Germany they get grades from 1-6.

What are we afraid to hurt feelings? C'mon pussies "Failing" is part of the curriculum. If you dont do what you're supposed to do, you fail and you learn from it. We dont want a generation of idiots who cant handle bad news. ::)

How would your life of peace and free living come true if you're gonna be enslaved? I mean if this is not idiot status then I don't know what is:
p.S: does Croatia still excist ? or is it Czeck Republic now ?
LMFAO... YOU FUCKING RETARD....

I also think it's better to get grades like we do. From 1-6, and each number means something.
1: very good
2: good
3: satisfying
4: enough
5: inadequate
6: insufficient
-
We have that too.
1- Credit
2- Credit
3- General
4- General
5- Foundation
6- Foundation
7- Fail

Well it's numbers, but it's hella different.. for example "fail" is like 'fuck off, you didn't make it loser' while "insufficient" is more like 'this time it's not enough, but if you put your ass into it, you can surely make it next time'
Also, fail does imply that you tried.. while most of the time when people get the worst possible grade, they didnt even try, but left the paper blank or somethin'.
-
^ So fail implies that you tried, and didn't make it, but insufficient doesn't imply the same thing?
A= Excellent
B= Above Average
C= Average
D= Below Average
F= Fail
Makes sense to me. Why would you do it any different way? I don't really think there's a better or worse way to do it, there's nothing to gain other than maybe standardizing it, which would be useless because what difference does it make? Changing it specifically for the purpose of avoiding ridicule is crazy, if you get an F, you deserve ridicule. It's my experience throughout my 18 or 19 years of education that the people that Fail, usually didn't try. Even the most idiotic, unintelligent kids got at least a D or a C if they attempted to learn. Teachers hate giving F's, you really have to piss them off to get one.

It's numbers so it's different? LOL... ok so someone saying "you received no points" is different from "you received 0 points"? I mean it's 'numbers', so it has to be hella different as you say. LOL @ your interpretation of the words fail and insufficicent. Yes, fail does imply that you tried, and so does insufficient. When people get the worst possible grade, it doesn't necessarily have to mean that they left the paper blank because generally (from my experience) a Fail means a score that's 50% or below the total number of points possible.

Like Trauma said, it really makes no difference what you call it... the title doesn't change the result.
