I love your analogy to finish that comment. It's not a matter of allowing students to truly learn anymore, and can you really blame the teachers? Once you get below a certain class average of percentage of students passing you're likely to face Administrative Action, at some point you have to watch out for your own livelihood. It's a combination of Teacher's Unions not always looking out for the students, parents of the students not caring enough to make a difference, and probably largely on the administration of school districts.
