What percent of students is fair and reasonable to fail a core high school course?

I would say 20% is a fair and reasonable percent of a high school teacher students to fail the course. I’m really specifically talking about core courses.
Especially considering out of that 20%, I would say half of them are failing all, or at least most, of their classes.

You fail all of them that can’t meet the standard of passing.
It is 10%, so be it.
If it’s 90%, so be it.

20% at my high school (in an affluent Atlanta suburb) would’ve caused parents to riot

This sentence that you wrote tells me you may have been in that 20% of English failures.
Also it's 2023. It's not fair that anyone fails at anything, EVER.

What % of the educational staff are incapable of passing the curriculum? Especially English?
We teach 12-14 years of English and yet no one knows much of anything about how to speak it properly, forget written English completely.

The teacher shall retest those students so that they don’t fail.

Won’t happen.
You forget that things like this cause hurt feelings.
It’s why standards are lowered and diversity is set in play.

Same here. We have to give unlimited attempts on test and I still have 2-5 students failing in all of my classes

Students in classes should compete for grades.
Students whose average is top 10% of class get an A.
Students whose average is top 11-20% of class get a B.
Students whose average is top 21-30% of class get a C.
Students whose average is top 31-40% of class get a D.
All others get an F.
All grades should be on 4.0 scale.

This is a terrible idea.

There should be no quota, but I do like the 10-point scale.
90-100 = A
80-89 = B
70-79 = C
60-69 = D
All others, F
No curve.

Standard distribution, same percentage of A’s and F’s. I hated courses that used it.

This might be the dumbest thing I've ever read here, and that's saying a lot. First off you want 60% of the class to fail which is just idiotic. Second you haven't considered the extremes where all students score 100%, or where all students get traditionally failing scores but 40% of them pass anyway. But most importantly high school should be preparing kids to be as productive as they each can be in the real world but you want to turn it into a game.

20% and the teacher should be fired.

Less than 5% in suburban schools. Less than 10% rural schools. 90% inner city schools.

High School as it is set up now is meant for the majority of society to obtain a high school diploma. The general standard would be +/- 2 standard deviations so 95.5% of students should make it through, as set up now.
I would love to see a variety of high school options designed to cater to different levels of intelligence and physical skills but we only get that will full privatization and deregulation of the education system.

This is why most states at one time adopted graduation exams and college require ACT and SAT scores. Different schools pass everyone along and they don’t know the course/work. But we all know those types of test are racist. There is not a standard from school to school. Most kids at Bonnabel that pass would fail at Jesuit back in the day.

What a joke. So we just pass pilots, surgeons, lawyers, welders, electricians, etc rather they show up or not. Rather they do the work or not? Rather they can pass courses material? Incompetence at its finest.

20% is ridiculous. That's a failing school and something needs to change. Reasonable should be less than 5%.
