"Las notas hay que sudarlas"

I think that the title of the article is literally describing what our students will have to do to get good grades or just the grades they need to pass to the next level. I agree that this is a good method to lift high our educational standards. The problem here is: Will the students be in the disposition to "sweat" their grades? Will all the teachers care if their students will pass or not to the next level?
I believe that the DE of PR did not think about this before implementing the new grading method. We all know that there are students that do not care to be "left behind", and that there are also teachers that don't care to "left behind" students. This will bring a lot of problems in the public schools. We are going to see a lot of students failing. The worst part of this is that not every parent cares and helps their child or children in the educational process. I know that the repercussions are going to be really big, but this is the DE. It shouln't impress us, right?
