According to my aunt who is an elementary school teacher in Ontario, this kind of thing is happening in the school systems as well. The teachers aren't allowed to fail kids anymore, at all, because of the backlash from parents. They have to institute all kinds of levels and special courses and classes for kids who are behind, because they can't make them do a grade over again. It's grueling for teachers. The whole Special Snowflake Syndrome is out of control, you can't tell kids they kinda might maybe suck at something.
