I am not sure that parents share those concerns, at least not when it is there kids that would be the ones held back and failed.
As bizarro says I think it is mainly coming from above teachers, and likely school admin as well, and probably in part from pressure from parents who don't want their kids held back or failed even if it is in the best interest of the kids.
Parents are very vocal about how standards are dropping and kids are getting free passes when it is everyone else's kids who are the problem, when it is their own kids....
