Re: Failing a student?

Out of 1500 students, I have had about 5 fail the written, usually due to an extreme difficulty with English vocabulary. I reviewed with them the ones missed, and let them take it again. They all passed the 2nd time, without my help.

I have had about 8 fail the Proficiency, always from jerking the trigger. After showing them the right way to work the trigger, they all passed the 2nd time, sometimes gaining over 50 points from the first time.

I try to screen out beginners, but still get some that are short on experience. I have doubts about letting people who score 175-199 carry a gun in public, but I don't make the rules.
