Wow. This is unbelievable. How is that even possible? In any civilized country you must pass all classes and only then you are eligible to move to the next grade...
And in US you pass only 3 of 18 and still get to the next grade?
Shocking news to me... This one thing explains EVERYTHING. Simply unbelievable.
