Students who fail are usually students who thought they were fine, which means the failure is a correction of a self assessment that was wrong. The recovery is to retake the class, or to take a different class, or to accept that this subject is not… Failing a Class You Thought You Could Pass is a school event in the catastrophic tier, worth -18,000 aura points.
