Both of those things are great ways to lower your school letter grade. Administrators are judged on that - both by their superiors and as a matter of pride.

Principals know if they kick out so many kids, or so many kids fail, it's going to lower their school grade. They aren't stupid.

I'm not saying there is out and out cheating or funny business. But teachers and administrators have discretion (as they should). So that F that is barely an F, here's some extra credit. Oh look, we graded this essay a little too harshly, let's adjust. Well, we could suspend you, but why don't we just try another detention, since we know you are sorry for what you did.

If the teachers and principals stand firm, the Karen parents go to the school board. And since the school board is elected, they will push hard on the superintendent and/or the principals to "fix" the issue.
