When educators and administrators try to saint themselves for pushing pass rates to 100% at all costs, parents should be skeptical and look at the outcomes: kids who graduate high school and don't know how to read or do basic math, etc.
Of course we need to do something for children whose home life is not conducive to learning, but more detail is needed before we can deem any particular approach praiseworthy. Some schools would like nothing more than to pass children through without being responsible for any learning occurring.
