~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
These people are trying to piss into people’s ears and trying to convince them that it’s raining. Four failed subjects in hand and the idiots want an auto-promotion to the next semester? Do you want chips with that?
If these gormless, feckless layabouts have any sense of seriousness in their life they would be aiming at clearing the subjects instead of asking for an easy way forward. Have they really seen what’s happening in the outside world, how difficult it is to find a decent career? They must be under the clouded perception that higher education is an inalienable right to life. Good luck with that.
