Text A In Praise of the F Word

General understanding of the text

Main idea

In this passage the author first puts forth the wide-spread problem that many high school students graduate with meaningless diplomas. Realizing the educational deficiency that many students are just passed along without really mastered the skills required, the author suggests that it is necessary that teachers play a trump card of failure to motivate students to work hard. She also cites an example of her own son to illustrate the positive effect of "F", if necessary, hence in praise of the F word as the title suggests. Of course a wise teacher should be able to make the wise choice between success and failure.

Text structure

Part One: Para. 1 Introduction: Many high school students fail their diplomas.

Part Two: Paras 2--4 As I teach I learn more about the real situation in our educational system.

Para.2 Many students have, in fact, been cheated by the educational system.

Para.3 Those students have one thing in common: unpleasant experience.

Para.4 The importance of attracting students' attention in class.

Part Three: Paras 5--10 Positive effects of use of "F" by the teacher.

Para. 5 Transitional paragraph to introduce the effective use of "F".

Para. 6 My son as a specific example who benefited from the "F" method.

Para. 7 Many students later are resentful at their having been passed along.

Para. 8 The bad effect of just passing the students who haven't mastered the work. Para. 9 My students have healthy fear of failure , which make them work harder. Para. 10 Conclusion of part two: fear of failure can motivate students to work hard. Part Four Paras 11--12 Conclusion: As flunking has its merits, a wise teacher should be able to make the wise use of it.

Para. 11 Flunking has its merits in urging students to work hard and master the skills. Para. 12 A wise teacher should make the wise choice between success and failure in evaluating her/his students..
