Younger people look for a reason to fail someone. Older sensei are looking for a reason to pass them. It's a different attitude.

I have heard of this approach and I have experienced this attitude as well. I was wondering what your thoughts are in this matter. I think that you're right and I also think that the latter should be the way to grade people. Almost every Japanese Sensei always tells you that you're doing very good, very good indeed. But.... and then comes the point where you should work on. I think that this is a very positive approach and also stimulating.
