Problem is you can have someone who has great ideas for building a building or being a doctor. They have to get the good grades because the grades reflect the individual knows what they have learned, are made of and guarantees we the people will be &#8220;safe&#8221; by the actions of that person. I take this as an okay to fail as long as you know the material. Go ahead fail medical schol exams because you learned\/know the anatomy! Follow what I am trying to say here? <\/p>\n<p>Yes we do learn from our failures but thats AFTER you get a solid education to put theories to test! Grades prove what you know and don&#8217;t know. If you get A&#8217;s and B&#8217;s in history but get D&#8217;s in math you have no business teaching math! Get it?!<\/p>\n<p>Piss poor advice, but what do you expect from the imperial regime who pushes the entitlement mentality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;..
