Saw it happen a lot in Atlanta with inner city schools and some other schools as well; they don't want to lose funding so they drop the testing standards and pressure teachers to pass students that have no business doing anything but failing, so they look like they have a decent % graduating. Then you have colleges stuck with a crop of students that learned fuckall in high school, and start pressuring college professors to drop their standards as well. Wasn't there an article recently about some biochem professor getting fired because he refused to lower testing standards?
