I am not trying to defend her but she was aware he was failing lots of classes but assumed it was not going to prevent him from graduating since he was promoted to the next class. Spanish 1 -> 2, English 1 -> 2, etc.

How is someone going to pass Spanish 2 after failing Spanish 1?

It is kind of a weird assumption on her part, but also weird behavior on the part of the school.

It all just stinks is what I mean. Basically no one took any kind of responsibility for this kid's education and success.

Failure is not a barrier to passing evidently.
