Pomp and Circumstance (裝腔作勢)

A high school senior who failed her required English class was permitted to
retake a test five hours before graduation after the family hired a lawyer
and threatened to sue if the school did not take "whatever action necessary"
to allow the student to graduate. Were litigation to have proceeded, the
teacher would have had "all information regarding [her] background, [her]
employment records, all of [her] class records, past and present and dealings
with this and other students…" made public. Despite that threat, the teacher
protested the test re-take, stating she had given opportunities for make-up
work that were not attended, school policy does not allow for seniors to
retake English tests and it would be unfair to other seniors who must attend
summer school in order to receive their diplomas. An undisclosed school
official made the decision to allow the student to retake the test, which she
passed. Chris Thomas, director of the Arizona School Board of Legal Services,
believes that the threat of lawsuits by parents is becoming more common,
commenting that "[the parents] hope the school district will just give in
because they just don’t want to go through litigation." The student, whose
name was withheld for privacy purposes, was permitted to graduate with her
class.
