Same with professors. If a class of 30 has 5 that fail, that is their fault. If a class of 30 has 25 that fail, it is the professor’s fault. (The professor isn’t teaching, to even minimum quality.)
I remember a chemistry professor with about 30 students. He awarded 1 C, 2 Ds, and about 27 Fs. His department chair moved him the next semester to teach something else, with a stern warning. He left the university at the end of the year, with a ‘Do Not Rehire’ on his personnel file.
I see the goal posts have shifted. Yesterday, 6/23 was enough to call it the instructors’ fault, today it’s “most” in order for it to be the instructors’ fault. Ultimately, these numbers are all just hypothetical anyway because no one here knows the real numbers or what the reasons/causes were. Rather a pointless discussion.
