At times I find myself wanting to lower my standards so students can pass a class a not get discouraged. However, I always bring myself back to the the responsibility I have to to the reputation of my school, and my responsibility to those students that have degrees from the school (i.e., to make sure their degrees remain valuable and legitimate). Do others have this problem? If so, how do they handle the situation?

I agree with these statements. There are many students that drop out of school because they were not in the proper program. While it is hard to match a program with an individual, I feel it is important that we as instructors try to identify those students who may be in the wrong program early in the student's educational career and steer them toward a program that matches their strengths. In many instances, students are on the right bus (career college), but they are in the wrong seat (program).
