Well, now, BeeDub, it didn't useter be that simple. Back in the day, the grading system was a lot tougher, and many folks had to re-tread some of their courses before they could actually graduate, but they passed anyway, and went elsewhere, and were otherwise, until such time as they finished it all up with a graduating grade. Nowadays, with populations of congregations declining and the dollar a bit tighter, you practically are guaranteed graduation even if all you know is a couple of basic recitations, no understanding required. And you wonder why life in Heaven ain't what it useter be!! I swan!! Well, mebbe you don't wonder that. But Glory Day, I yam here to tell you it useter be a lot tougher. These days anyone who is smaller than a camel can get in because of all the lobbying that has gone on over the years. It has had an erosive effect, you might say, on the Standards of Eternity.
Don't ax me to 'splain that, eiver. It's over my head, and that is for sartin sho'.
