Come on. Let's not be so harsh. If truth is being told, then this girl has 
now dropped a class over it. And what good does that serve? Now she won't 
be learning any Ruby, Programming, or (IMHO) how to truly "Think". Shaming 
her or her friend isn't going to make the world a better place. Encouraging 
her to earnestly try, on her own, regardless of the outcome or the grade 
she might receive is more noble. As long as she learns, even just a small 
portion of what her classmates manage, then at least it is something 
positive. And relative growth is far more important than absolutes. For 
what might seem small to you and me can in fact be quite huge to a newbie.
