Marry Sherry ‘s“ In Praise of the F Word,” and Carl Singleton’s “What our Education System Needs is More F’,” are both addressing the same problem of giving F grade for those students who should be failed in order to improve education and get rids of disqualified passing students. The writers interestingly are both instructor and teacher who concern about this topic. Although the main purpose of both texts is concentrate mostly on the need of giving F grade and they both have some of the same perspectives on this topic; however, the ideas and assumptions of each individual writer are presented differently. They both agree on the term that teachers shouldn’t hesitating giving F grades to students who deserve it and F can play a role of a failure that will push them to master the material and try harder to receive better grades. Moreover, Mary and Carl both mention that disqualified passed students will suffer in the future about their knowledge and even have to relearn the stuff that were supposed to be in their minds while ago. Both of the writers are giving some supporting assumptions toward F grades that will lead students to concentrate and learn harder. F grades will also let the parents pay more attention on their children’s learning process and stand behind their kids. Teaching style is also one of the trivial points that both writers make.
