The teachers are also strongly encouraged to pass every kid regardless of learning level.
The kids know all this as well.
The main source of the problem is the parents. I have seen letters from parents that literally blame the teacher for the student cussing her out and threatening her. Even when a video shows the student was the aggressor.
Until the parents start to care, nothing will change.

IMO True for maybe 30%, few bad apples run the whole bushel for everyone. Not everybody can be brain surgeons or space X rocket scientist. But, that don’t mean they don’t have some type of potential skill. But, the system not skill bases, based on all to be brain surgeons. Then, you got 15% that know matter what you do it won’t make difference.

Another thing students really have no excuses, all they got to do in comment and learn. Federal government passes out student loans like candy. Us older generation didn’t have that luxury, we had to take any job available so we wasn’t mooches.

Majority don’t make good career choices and get worthless degrees and can get good paying job. They run up the student loan debt partying, taking spring breaks, buying electronics, and some new cars. Then when the can’t suck no more students loans and have get job then complain I can’t pay my 100K plus student loan debt. Well, guess what, they made bad choices and now suffer consequences. Rest of society has same debt responsibilities.
