I’m sorry your wife failed some classes, but it’s probably not because the school wants some extra money.

How are you so sure?

There is so much shady things about academic env that it doesnt sound scary

Ive witnessed situation where "hard" prof was teaching and many ppl failed, and then thry received "easy" prof and they passed

But they had to pay for exams and retake, etc

They didn't say that.

  • They did seem to think that it's a problem for schools to fail students.

    • They didn't say that either.

      What they did say is that the school sometimes fails students to get more money — supposedly implying that this was not because they did not meet the passing criteria.

      This does not preclude failing students when they deserve it.

      It is ok to question of what makes them believe they would have passed the exams without this financial motivation for the school, but they were pretty clear IMO.
