There are consequences for failing a class, which is a problem in today's school system that prioritizes perfection over progress.

A student attending school must devise a strategic plan, as if preparing for battle, carefully scheduling each class to avoid situations where they might earn low grades, fail, or end up with an overwhelming schedule.

School should be a place where students can try out new things, even those they may not excel at. In the job market, the goal is to specialize in a specific set of skills so one doesn't have to be proficient in everything.
