The B.C. marking system awards a "P" IN ANY COURSE if you get a mark in the 50s. His ineligibility stems from getting marks that would have failed him in several other systems, and certainly would not have got him into a university. >[...] >But to the real point-------------------------------- > >WHY IS A HIGH SCHOOL ALLOWED TO OFFER CLASSES ON A PASS/FAIL BASIS? I >had never heard of this before. IS SOMEONE ON DRUGS???????????????? They did not. The confusion stems from the fact that, I think, B.C. is the only place that gives a mark of "P" for a bare pass. I will say it again, for the last time: In British Columbia a P = 50-59%. >Ben, >UMaine John, Carleton U. -- John C.K.
