Professor fails everyone in class

Why couldn't you?

I failed a lot who didn't turn in their work on time. But, for the ones who completed all of their tasks on time, it was very difficult to fail them. They would pressure instructors to pass students who couldn't read or write past the elementary level and didn't understand the concepts. If you did fail a student, then they would have the opportunity to turn in missing assignments and redo others for a passing grade. Sometimes, they would give them two or three months to correct their grade.

One student managed to get through most of the program by cheating. When I had him for the last course in the certificate program, I caught him cheating and assigned him an alternative assignment. Everything he turned in was wrong. He didn't know anything. After revising his assignment a couple of times, it was still mostly wrong. Instead of getting frustrated with the student, the program chair was getting frustrated with me. Apparently, she was helping him, and the answers still weren't right. The school was just terrible all around.
