What is Wrong With Education

I work in a University and I have a co worker who has a daughter that attends school here. She was talking to her mom about the test that she took and she got a failing grade on the test. The mother was upset and asked her if the professor was going to redo the test or change the curve or something to make it so that the grade ended up being a passing grade. The daughter said that the professor was not going to do that. He would only allow people to retake the test and average the scores. She was fine with the test score because she said that the test was hard and she needed to do better.

What is wrong when the parent wants to find the easy way out and the child is the one that realizes they did not do well and should try harder. Hello people, the easy way out is not the right way and sometimes you need to realize that you just didn't do well and suck it up!
