Teachers allege pressure to pass
At South Phila. High, they said, freshmen will move on lacking skills. The principal touted makeup work.

The math teacher worries about job security given the 80 percent failure rate, but that rate will stand when grades go in tomorrow.
"I believe," the teacher said, "you have to earn what you get."
