蚆Flunking students is not an effective way to motivate them to study.

膁“Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence”

蒀——Robert Frost

薆 Nowadays, students are not as diligent and docile as their former generation, which makes the teachers feel headache. How to let their students focus on their study? Some teachers take this kind of measures to deal with their uneducable students——flunking students. Personally, I can’t agree with this method. It’s horrible both to students and teachers.

蒅 From the students’ side, this method can only reduce students’ motivation and confidence for studying well rather than increase their mood of learning. After all, a flunking grade is not a laudable result for everybody. If someone gets flunked, he or she will feel that maybe he or she can’t do anything well. Recently, some college students killed themselves because they failed in critical exams. So flunking students can’t save them but hurt them.

芁 From the teachers’ side, this approach may ruin their images in their students. Most students dislike teachers who always give a lot of flunking grades. It makes them think that this kind of teacher is stubborn, carping and difficult to get along with. If the students have had this thought, how could they be motivated by their flunking grades?

In a word, flunking students is not a good method for education. Students need to be encouraged and motivated but not in this way.
