Maspeth HS diplomas ‘not worth the paper’ they’re printed on

Maspeth High School created fake classes, awarded bogus credits, and fixed grades to push students to graduate even if the diploma was not worth the paper on which it was printed, an explosive investigative report charges.

Principal Khurshid Abdul-Mutakabbir demanded that teachers pass students no matter how little they learned, says the 32-page report by the Special Commissioner of Investigation for city schools, Anastasia Coleman.

I don t care if a kid shows up at 7:44 and you dismiss at 7:45 it s your job to give that kid credit, the principal is quoted as telling a teacher.
