There are standards for passing a course.

Uh, Karen,that was once true. Schools have changed. Now it's virtually impossible to fail anybody in a course because it will bruise their egos. If they find the work too hard, they go into the special education track, where they are, IME, given As or the worst Bs merely for coming to school on alternate days.

that's a bit overblown, but not that much. You should spend a week in a modern school. Or, no, you shouldn't -- that much psychic pain you shouldn't have to suffer at your age.
