Student’s Response to Professor Proud of High Failure Rate Elicits Reactions From Online Community
A student’s response to the professor who was proud that many students were failing his exam sparked online debate.
Recently, Jed Rivas, a Facebook user, shared a screenshot of a heated exchange between his classmate and their professor. The post quickly spread like wildfire on social media and elicited reactions from the online community.
In the post, a student boldly responded to a professor who seemed proud that many students fail his exams. The viral post shows a screenshot from a group chat where the professor reminded his students to study hard for their upcoming midterm exam.
He mentioned that few students pass his subject, and most end up failing, suggesting that they should be prepared. This statement caught the attention of one student named Lana, who responded directly, questioning the professor’s pride in such results.
The lady student argued that there is no reason to be proud when many students are struggling in a subject. They suggested that it might be time for the professor to reassess his teaching methods, as the high failure rate could reflect the quality of instruction rather than the students’ abilities.
According to the student, if more students are failing than passing, the problem may lie in how the subject is being taught, not just in the students’ performance.
The post gained various reactions and comments from netizens, with many joining the debate. Some sided with the student, believing that a high failure rate could indicate a need for better teaching strategies, while others pointed out that students also have a responsibility to put in effort when preparing for exams.
