>I really have to ask why you can't just fail those students
Who says they didn't fail? I didn't get into detail. For one thing, I don't want students to fail. Another thing, it is stressful to have more than half your class fail, even for a self-righteous ass like myself. Here are the grades from my freshman (Fall 2012) course, (IIRC):
A, 1 < Non-traditional student, ex-convict, age 30-ish.
