Pass or Fail?

Last class, we discussed about the line between passing and failing. To me, passing is to try my best and put my full effort in anything and everything I do. However, many believe that receiving a score under 100% is a fail. This is ludicrous. The sole purpose of going to school and taking classes is to learn and utilize that knowledge in the future. But, I believe that if an individual intakes the knowledge properly and learns to his or her fullest, the grades will automatically and naturally come to become good ones. Thus, the line between fail and pass is simply a matter of whether you actually are able to learn or try your best. As for failing, it is when an individual simply does not care or fails to learn. Many may argue that the subject is hard and that the learning process is difficult. In this case, it is a matter of personal integrity and whether the individual knows that he or she tried hard. The line between pass and fail is an extremely controversial one but I believe that it is a matter of effort.
