Hayward educators face allegations of political gamesmanship shaping class offerings and advisory group decisions. Sunset High School social science teacher Jorge da Silva told the school board standards are slipping as enrollment pressures and student choices influence course quality. He cited the mills system and graduation requirements as factors forcing teachers toward lower achievement targets to attract students. He recalled 1974 trustee discussions on a passing grade in American Government.
