I think it very much depends on how the "failing out" is done. If its just a standard grading scheme and there is the potential for 100% of the class to pass (if they all do well on the content), then I think its actually great to give as many people the chance as possible. But, some of the classes I took early on in college had extremely difficult grading curves based on the middle/top students in the class, which I didnt think was fair at all. Trying to weight each individual class so a certain % of people pass is a terrible act imo, as it will vary year to year. I passed all of the classes, but I still feel sorry for the kids who failed just because our year had more smarter students that the previous/next years.
