give sb. a pass困难

But if the district is essentially giving a pass to students who do not do their homework because of complicated family lives, it is going riskily close to the implication that standards need to be lowered for poor children.

但如果学区实际上是对那些因家庭生活复杂而不做作业的学生网开一面，那就危险地接近于暗示需要为贫困儿童降低标准了。
