text: Possibly parents and students do not care about what their child has on report cards, but I am guarantied that our school and school systems care. We do not want a school to look bad and show bad examples for others. Principals like to have compliments that they get from others about how great they run the school and the high quality averages. Schools get to feel special if the kids work hard. They might get to go somewhere or be represented and show what they got and know.
