Grade fraud benefits everyone short term - schools make their numbers, principals get their tenure, teachers get their tenure and students graduate on time. Everyone has their (horse) blinkers on - the DOE, the CSA and the UFT. The parents are in on it too - they don’t want their offspring aging out without a diploma. This has been going on for y...e...a...r...s. Bloomberg had computer programs that allowed the kids to make up two years worth of work over six weeks of summer school via a computer program - kids even took physical Ed on it. The only reason the NY Post has an issue with it now is because deBlasio isn’t cow/towing to the charter schools.
That said it is having a devastating effect on the lives of these functionally illiterate students and society. It should be stopped. If it is stopped the graduation rate will hover around 10%. Teacher will be burned at the stake and charters will take over almost immediately. Do the right thing or keep playing the game? 99.99% keep playing the game.
