Dealing with pre-set rules

It would be nice, I think, to be able to make my own assessments and lesson plans.  The reason I say, I think, is because the corporate office governs what we teach, in what order, and our grading.  They tell us we can't give extra credit, we can't round scores, we can't change the grading policy.... etc.

Because of this, I have students going out in the field, who have passed every class, but never passed an assessment !  This person is now representing me and my school, and it won't be a good impression.

I realize that there is a certain amount of protection afforded to the student.  You don't have to worry about different teachers teaching differently or grading differently, but the people setting the rules, don't teach !  And they are going to hold us responsible for a certain pass rate AND a certain placement rate !
