Are you disputing that limit of 1-2 students is failing factcheck, or that there is no formal established quota limit? No pressure for teachers to pass more?

Here's more, spoon-fed style:

friend, you can just say "oops, my article was about high school, my bad". no need to start being a dick.

>Are you disputing [...]

i am disputing your claim: "You cannot reject more than one or two students in a year or the school will reject you" (as i have reiterated 3 times now).

you have now morphed it into a completely different claim, which appears to be something along the lines of "you should not fail more than 30% of your class". which, for most of my classes, would be approaching 24 students i could fail. 12x your initial claim!
