    A new term has been coined for those failing school

    The grading system of A through F has been scrapped for something else that's essentially based on the notion of 'participation trophies'. The lowest possible grade now is E for "emerging". That's right, nigger it down so that the lame ass failures don't realize they're really lame ass failures. There are no standards to strive toward to improve.

    Yeah, more like an emerging threat to life as we have known it.

    Yeah, because if you change the grade F/Fail to E/Emerging, that means nobody will ever fail, ever again! What could possibly go wrong?

    Mike Judge made a documentary about that, it's called Idiocracy. It's a must watch.
