I failed 10%

I should say they failed themselves. Even with a ridiculous recovery policy, even nagging and calling, 10% refused to do the minimum and pass. I know they don't believe me when I tell them they will be repeating. Some have to learn by doing.

Good news, I had that many As as well - so some are listening.

Yes, they failed themselves.

I can't stand it when students say, "Why did you give me an F?"

"I don't give grades," I reply. "You earn them--and you earned an F."
