Pharyngula: Morris in the news:
"One other very troubling thing hidden in that 99% graduation rate is that it has become a mark of pride in the district, and administrators try to keep it high now not by encouraging excellence in education and making sure that every student has earned a diploma, but by pressuring teachers not to fail any students under any circumstances. We've lost one good teacher at the school already because he refused to go along with that policy (and also because some of the growing discipline problems there were just too frustrating.)"
