Nyeisha's Summary on In Praise of the F Word

                                       In Praise of the F Word by Mary Sherry

                                      In Praise of the F Word by Mary Sherry is a article about how children were
passed in school without having the necessary tools that they needed to move forward.  It also tells how
this has a longterm effect on those particular students as far as finding a good job and being semiliterate.
Mary also talks about how children were passed just because they didn't get into any troule in school
and that the teachers should have put a little more pressure on them to make them develop the tools that
they will need entering adulthood.   She also talks about students receiving high school diploma when they
acually did not earn them.  She describes how it is difficult in her profession to see this type of behavior go
on.  No matter what Mary says as a teacher do what you have to to get the students attention and keep it.
She also speaks in detail about how drugs and bad relationships have a strain on students as well because of
being passed without the proper education they needed therefore making it extremely difficult to land a good job, because that is something believe it or not employers are focused on.  So she came up with a system that if her students did not want to learn or did not want to pay attention, she would tell their parents that they
would fail. Now telling a student that they would fail was a different ballgame, because now this made the students pay attention and focus on the bigger picture and that was earning a high school diploma.  Even with adults going back to school they knew how important it was to receive the equivalence of a high school diploma.  In high school they don't see the importance of one until it is too late. So in conclusion, Mary says don't play with your education and learn all you can because it will be very beneficial in the long run.
