Imagine finding out days before you THINK your son will graduate, that they've only passed 3 classes in 4 years of high-school with a .013 GPA. Yet the school kept advancing them to the next grade year after year abc3340.com/news/nation-wo… 
In my school district we had what was called "social passing" where if you failed a grade more than once you automatically graduated to the next grade. Which is why there was a 16 year old bully in the 9th grade junior high-school. But there's no excuse for 4 years of failure
Of course if your school gets paid by the student then you have incentives to either maintain "Ghost students" or keep kids in attendance that should otherwise be gone. This is a pretty crazy story - Same high-school
All of this is happening RIGHT now in Baltimore public schools as Augusta Fells failures and possible corruption have led to calls to oust the CEO and sue the entire school system

I highlight this story because in the last 4 months you'd think that #CriticalRaceTheory was the most important thing happening in public schools. It isn't. #CRT is a red herring by racist cranks and local busybody parents. Meanwhile real students are facing real challenges
