The more important question is do they learn to solve it, fail out, or just get pushed through?
One of those is a bad outcome, but the other 2 are fine.

None of those are "fine". The problem is that such students aren't college material and shouldn't be admitted in the first place.

If standards aren't lowered and they're just failed out, that's fine eventually, but I would prefer it to be fine from day 1.
