To play devil's advocate. There are legitimate discharges of students who have no intention of earning their diplomas so discharging them from school is the only way to outsource these students towards YABC programs, GED programs, or vocational programs.
It seems unreasonable to scrutinize all schools or administrators for discharging students who are legitimately working towards graduation even if it's a year behind their original cohort.
a very good article and interesting to read
