I am a product of a fairly unforgiving Indian system where failure was certainly an option, but not a good one. In recent times I have heard of some Indian systems calling for the abolition of marks based ranking in primary and middle school. This would not prepare the kids for the intense competition that lies waiting just at Class X and beyond. And now read this article about how Pittsburgh schools now are mandating that the minimum a student can score is 50%. Which means that if you do one problem right in a question paper of 10, you still get 50%. Does that make any sense?
