How bad or good a grade is all depends on the student. If they're capable of better and do much less than their best it's a disappointment.

If ALL of the class gets c's on a test when normally the grades would be more spread out then that's the TEACHER'S fault. If the students all did poorly then the teacher failed to teach.

I don't think I'd ever make a student retake a class if they got a C unless they wanted to and feel they could do better. Otherwise they suffer from their lack of effort if it is less than standard for that particular person.

I personally have had failed college course or D's in college courses, that I studied the books for all summer, can back and squeezed out a B in the course second time around. A grade of B was about as good as an A+ for some students - My average was around C+ or B- in highschool and college. C's weren't my best usually but it depended on the class too. In Science a C was poor - in Math a C was actually quite good.
