Reminds me of this story[1] of Baltimore students repeatedly advanced despite passing essentially no classes.

>According to transcripts, France's son passed only three classes in his four years of high school, earning a 0.13 grade point average. What's worse is that her son's GPA puts him near the top half of this class. He was also late or absent to school 359 days.

In SF they've been having kids get A's despite no attendance. And the attendance figures were being fudged as well. Reason was they've had so many subs they don't know who is in class / just give everyone an A.
