#1167 letter from student to teachers

you're failing me, by passing me
each time i hand in less-than-mediocre work
i get mediocre marks
what does 70% even mean anymore
in a world where 50 is the new 30
if at graduation, more than half the class gets "special recognition"
is it special? is it even recognition?
your 60% insults me
it should say 40
i can handle failure
especially if it's mine and i earn it
because of these inflated marks i distrust:
you, the school system, adults, authority
stop failing me, and start failing me
