(41,203 posts)It often leads to people being very uneven in their abilities (most people are, but autistic people more so)- the exact ways in which they are uneven varies between individuals. It also tends to make it harder for people to learn and perform in a group setting.
What I find a bit hard to understand - from a different educational system - is why do you have to pass an exam in every subject to graduate? In some other countries, such as the UK, you would graduate automatically, but have an exam record for different subjects. If an particular employer wants someone with a good record in mathematics for a particular job, that's up to them; but why should the person not have on record that they did pass other exams, which might be deemed more important by another employer?
