But but but everyone can't do that so it's unfair that you could, so it must be forbidden for all, because otherwise there's no equality! Or to actually quote myself from a board meeting 10 years ago or so: "If we place the bar so low that everyone can just ooze across it, even more pupils/students will fail than today (cue long harangue about the many wrongs and errors of the swedish school system and the origins of same, followed by a hectoring diatribe about how to create an actually functioning school, meaning more or less go back to pre 1960s style schooling)!" Female colleague: "That sounds like fascism to me. Grading and sorting and ranking is just wrong when it comes to children, everyone is of equal worth and dignity!" I'll leave you to guess what the board decided was the politic and profitable way to go... (Hint: Sweden is down to around 50th place in international comparisons, from 5th 25years ago. Oh, and homeschooling is illegal, can get your children taken by the social servies and anonymised and put in fosterhomes, and you in prison for up to two years.)
