We need more exams with essay questions that forces the student to apply a concept to a certain situation, not just regurgitate the definition.
As a society we aren't ready to accept that failure rate....at least not today's society. Also, we certainly aren't a society that is ready to work hard enough with your proposed system to make it a viable pass/fail rate.
Although I think ultimately your answer is the correct one....I'm not certain we are ever going to implement it. We are going to hurt a lot of feeling and the first thing we are going to have to deal with is the fact that these tests are racist because I'd imagine the minority failure rate will be real high.

and yet we blame the teachers for the poor quality of our education system.
My 12 yo son struggled with english composition. I didn't tell the teacher they sucked because my son struggled. I asked for ideas/strategies to assist him at home. She was elated I asked! She told me it was refreshing. Think about that for a second...
Education should not stop when the final bell for the day rings.
