Interesting article.  The job of academic help centers should not be to prevent someone from failing, it should be to challenge them to be their best, and in my view, most importantly, prepare students for life in the working world. 

I believe that the habit of working hard and persevering and doing your best is what needs to be rewarded.  If you make a habit of doing that in the classroom and on the field you will succeed, regardless of the outcome on either place.  Winners keep trying and keep trying to do better.  Losers complain and take shortcuts.  You need to make being a winner if everything a habit if you want to be the best you can be.
