Occasion
The occasion is a tribute to her teacher Jerry Kupchynsky who had previously died.
The evidence in the article suggests that his tough teaching made her and many of his former students better students and helped open doors for very successful careers. She probably had inspiration for writing this because of the lowered grade levels in our education nowadays. She really got most of her inspiration from the many researchers that published the information. The larger occasion is our lower and lower comparisons of math and science to the rest of the world.

countries.
Audience
The audience of the article is most obviously the teachers and the school districts. They are the audience because they dictate what kind of learning experience the children of this generation will have. This article is aimed at the people that can change our educational system like the teachers, students and parents. It is aimed at the teachers so that they can change their teaching plans to better suit the students needs. This article is also aimed at the students so that we can make ourselves take the harder teachers so that we build that strong foundation for the rest of our life. The parents are perhaps the biggest part since they push their children the most or the least. The parents would need to be told that the teachers are supposed to push their children because the fact is that the parent will always blame the teachers on the success or lack thereof on their children.
Purpose
The purpose of this article is to convince the superintendents and high ranking school district officials to go back to their original ways of teaching.
To convince people that the educational system needs to change. It needs to show how being stricter can affect the students and improve their overall grade (and less coddling to the students). The main difference between old times and the current time would involve the students and how well they did in their classes. From the two-thousands and below all students did not have the same amount of technology. Their form of working was a chalkboard or whiteboard and if you were incapable to finish writing down the notes and the teacher had already started to erase you may be out of luck unless your friend had finished and will allow you to copy and finish the notes. As people seldom let you copy notes this is extremely
terrible.
Subject
The subject of this essay involves multiple sources though the subject was a student, some professors, as well as a few doctors. The students are part of the subject because they are talked about throughout the entire essay. The professors are a big part of the essay as different researchers are repeatedly mentioned all the way through the essay. The doctors prove throughout the essay that tough teaching is better for students than “nice” teaching. They prove tougher teachers get better students than softer teachers. With tough teachers they think that pain is good for you and things like drilling into people’s minds. When the teachers drill into people’s minds their minds remember it better because more time was spent on it than normal.
