This should mainly affect high school since they pass a good amount of students who shouldnt pass on to the next grade or graduate. Its frustrating seeing the grade inflation and how little a dipolma means and how much of a terrible feedback loop occuring in american high schools.
1 Pass to Look Good: high pressure on school admin to pass students
2 Funding and Reputation tied pass rates: theres incentives to inflate grades and lower standards
3 Teachers pressured to pass students: there is a fear to poor evaluations from admin and fear of backlash
4 Students realize effort isnt required: Apathy Grows learning drops.
