Imagine that.............amazing............
Will “passing everybody” also be applied to the drivers’ test given by DMV?
By not expecting someone to put out the effort to succeed they guarantee the recipients of these fake diplomas will fail in life.
I am not sure if this is not on purpose (or just a way to take the heat off the unionize teachers)or just a win win for the left.
If I recollect, John Dewey HS was established in the early 70’s, and had NO grades, as an experimental school. Color me surprised they have grades, with which to pass everybody with.
Probably lots of extra-credit book reports?
My wife isn’t allowed to give students a zero for poor or nonexistent work, and isn’t allowed to give retarded or otherwise learning disabled anything less than a 50. Her administrators say it is too difficult for them to pass once they have received these low grades. I always mocked this by saying if you are giving away grades, why not just hand them a diploma and save the trouble of teaching them.
This school has just taken the public education grading farce to the next logical step.
In other words,the diploma is a meaningless piece of paper.
Terrific.

When all else fails, lower your expectations.
Kinda sounds like my love life.

Nobody is allowed to flunk anything in a self esteem culture.
Pure Genius! Now print free money to eliminate poverty
Why didn’t we think of this before?
Funny how that matches up with the school's 39% majority Asian population and 11% minority white population.
“...with the help of a shady “credit recovery” program that students sarcastically call “Easy Pass.””
Gee, wonder who thought that up, the admin or union...
“Just pass everyone.”
From the quality of some of the doctors I’ve seen in action lately, some medical schools may be on the same path. I remember when I thought that all doctors were smart as a prerequisite—times change I guess.
