On the other hand, think of what a lesson in real-world capitalism she’s teaching.

These kids might be future power brokers on Wall Street!

And those of us who still believe in education and fair play will be even further marginalized.
there's no even ground here... no option for kids who don't have that 20... just another way for some to cheat to get by.

when I was in college I had an instructor that lost our mid-term tests without entering the grades. in an effort to be "fair" she gave everyone a B. I was on the Dean's List and that REALLY pissed me off! not to mention that about half the class were dragging down Ds on a regular basis
