'F' Students Passed In Central Falls
Grades of ‘F’ in four core subjects at Central Falls’ Calcutt Middle School are not enough to hold students back, according to teachers who claim they were ordered to pass the failing students onto high school.
The controversy over what is known as ‘retention’ provoked a series of emails between Calcutt’s 8th grade team and the school’s incoming principal, David Alba.
“To be clear,” Alba responded in one of the emails. “The change I have made to the Calcutt retention policy is not a matter up for debate.”

This happens in my district too. Counselors even tell the students they wont be held back for non-passing grades.
