KY,
1. The teachers are not in charge of the school rules. The board is in charge. The teachers are salaried employees/ If they are lax they are פושע בשליחות. In any case, grade inflation and/or lax standards are noticed. A 90 from an elite academic school is not viewed the same as a 90 from even an average school. There is also the question of the values being inculcated. Are these kids going to try to cheat their way through life?
2. A language they neither speak nor understand? How are they going to get along in life if they cannot put together something coherent in the language of the country. If you are referring to a foreign language class, the teacher obviously does not demand the level of a native speaker.
3. The point is that you used it. You took something without paying for it.
