SASKATOON - At Nutana Collegiate, failure may no longer be an option.
To spare students' hurt feelings and damaged prospects, the Saskatoon high school is considering no longer issuing failing grades starting at the end of January. Instead of grades below 50 per cent, students would receive "incomplete" or "no mark" on their report cards and transcripts, said Nutana principal Shirley Figley.

Wow, so instead of a fail you just get an incomplete or no mark. What happens when that starts to hurt the students' feelings? :crybaby:
