At Harwood Junior High, the administration has started this policy in which they contact parents and students about failing grades. Although the concept seems very beneficial, the verbiage used creates a negative overtone and feels condescending towards students. The alliteration in the title “Failure Friday”, may have been intended to be playful; however, it comes across as mocking children who are struggling academically. To help the program be more successful, I would suggest using titles that are motivating and informative, instead of demeaning, such as Weekly Warning or Friday Followup. Covid-19 has disrupted learning for students worldwide. We are struggling with assignments and may need reminders, like the program intends, but the current approach could be more harmful than helpful.
