Are you talking about graduating from high school or graduating from college?

Assuming high school, yes, graduating apparently counts.

Assuming college, where do you get "invalidating their own degrees"? Remedial work does not invalidate a college degree - and as someone who has a Master's in Education, I would think you would know that. Increasing numbers of students who require remedial courses does, to some extent, invalidate their high school diploma, since they apparently are not prepared for college level work. Since education is designed to build on previous knowledge, it is reasonable to assume that successful completion of twelve years of primary and secondary education would prepare a student for post-secondary coursework.

Of course I am guessing as to the meaning of your comments, since they seem designed to denigrate rather than participate in a dialogue; however, not even that is clear enough to know for certain.
