Individuals might be weaker, but overall the group will become stronger when you set the standards high. When it comes to higher junior grades (I'm thinking around green belt and up) the instructor should expect more from his students. Those who are not good enough, simply should not grade. If that takes the motivation out of them, and if that make some of them quit, then so be it. Ideally the instructor should try to motivate the students differently, and tell them that gradings are a secondary product to their progress. It's hard to turn a child down over and over, but it is for the best.

I like your Dojo's attitude, Nix. Regarding kids, I increasingly wonder whether the Mon system wouldn't help them get over the hump of changing bodies and schedules beyond their control.
Osu!
