Why are you presenting an irrelevant example? Med students are adults, voluntarily studying for a profession. This teacher - who seemingly lied about the reason she was fired as the district does not have the policy she claimed it does - was teaching eighth graders who are required by law to attend school, and where the state as an interest in them getting a good basic education. Furthermore, 'on each test' is far different from 'one test', and the claim concerned a homework assignment. Furthermore, med schools tweak their grades, like "U Pitt: Fail is 2 standard deviations below the mean" - https://forums.studentdoctor.net/threads/which-med-schools-grade-students-based-on-a-curve.5755/ https://forums.studentdoctor.net/threads/which-med-schools-g... and the MCAT is graded on a curve ("The MCAT is graded on a curve where 500 is the average for all four sections of the exam with scores ranging from 472 to 528.") Grading on a curve means that if a student could only answer 45% of the questions on each test, while the other students could only answer 40%, then the 45% student definitely passes. It also means that someone who gets 95% right could fail. If someone gets a 0 because they couldn't be there for the test, but were otherwise a competent C student, then should that one missed test doom the student to a D grade? (75 + 75 + 75 + 75 + 75 + 75 + 75 + 75 + 75 + 75 + 75 + 0) / 12 -> 68.75 which is a D+ and not a C. Is that pattern really the sign of a D student?
