Read the following text closely.
Write a carefully worded ESSAY of approximately 1 2 00 w o rd s in length, in which you
critically analyse the content of the article as a persuasive text.
In your essay, make sure you do all of the following:
▪ Identify what typ e of text this is.
▪ Identify what the p u rp o s e of this text is.
▪ Identify the target a u d ien c e of the text (i.e. for whom the text is intended).
▪ Comment on the lin g u istic d e vic e s used. Make sure you
o not only identify the linguistic devices, but also
o explain h o w they have been used
AND
o w hy they might be effective.
Ignore the ellipses […] and do not comment on them!

Firstly, countering violence cannot be the sole responsibility of a school. Educational
leaders and educators are neither equipped nor should they be expected to know
how to manage what is essentially a societal problem.
When learners come to school with knives, or when they think cyberbullying is some
form of acceptable social interaction, or when educators have sexual relationships
with schoolgirls, then these are not comments on the schooling system as much as
they are reflections of a social malaise.
[…]
That said, in the absence of an unfractured society and a socially just democracy,
schools have no option but to fulfil the surrogacy roles of parenting, caring and
disciplining.
