What do you expect from a political scientist?

My buddy recently moved to Denver and got a job as a biology teacher in a high school. I saw him last week and he was griping about how he's not really allowed to fail students. They have a standing policy that if an assignment is turned in, it must garner at least 50%. No Child Left Behind is destroying education under the guise of fixing it.
