This is the truth. I see it in the class room every single day. If the exam is
hard, they would never dream of working harder or study more. Instead they
complain to the school that the teacher is evil, and refuse to take the exam
until it is made easier.

This makes me sick!

I think back to my own university days where some exams were legendary. 90%
failed, and if people complained, the school _and_ the teacher would shrug their
shoulders and say, you're not forced to be here, you can leave any time you
want.

Will have a look! Another favorite dystopian extrapolation from the present to the future,
I like, is Idiocracy.

True. I'm fighting it by upping my efforts to teach my students critical
thinking, and trying to teach them grit and to bite down and work harder.

It is a tough job when you have the entire system, including the school itself,
against you! The only mitigating factor is that I'm private, so at least for me
and my business partners, there's good money in it. The drawback is that of
course, eventually a point will be reached when the schools find it easier to
hire teachers that don't give a sh*t about the students and just pass them
regardless of what they know, so that the schools will get their profit.
