F Is For

Résumé du livre

Sometime in the not-too-distant future, inside the headquarters of an American school district, District representative Dr. Quell meets with Katherine and Clarissa Clemons, the mother and older sister of troublemaking student, Abraham. The District is fed up with the boy's misbehavior. No consequence they have ever given the boy has deterred or changed his mischievous ways. New policy adopted by the District dictates that rebellious students who do not respond well to traditional behavioral interventions must be publicly humiliated with the letter "F" "laserbranded" onto their faces. Clarissa argues with Dr. Quell that this is an unacceptable consequence for Abraham-it will ruin his self-esteem forever-but Katherine begins to side with the school district?
