Poll: What Constitutes a Passing Grade?

Holy Trinity has decided to make it "70." What do you think?

Holy Trinity Diocesan High School in Hicksville just announced that a passing grade for their students in all courses will be 70, effective in the next school year.

The decision, Trinity officials said, comes after careful consideration and discussions involving the faculty and administration. 

What if 65 didn't cut it anymore in public schools? Is it time to increase the standards that constitute a passing grade?
