free question

When it was time for the Chinese class, the teacher said that he would not teach today, but would only give the students composition homework, which should be submitted before the end of the class.

Everyone was very happy because they didn't have to go to class, but thinking about doing their homework in class, they felt pressured and started talking.

At this time, the teacher added: "You don't have to put too much pressure. I'll give you a free question. There is no limit to the subject matter, no limit to the writing content, no limit to the number of words, as long as you submit it before the end of the class."

The students were very happy when they heard that it was a "free question". They believed that there was no limit to the subject matter, no limit to the content and number of words, and they could write at will, so they began to discuss what to write.

At this time, a classmate asked the teacher, "Is there any restricted subject matter for free questions? What can be written? What can't be written? If there are no restrictions, is it okay to write nonsense or foul language?"

The students all burst into laughter, vying for each other to write nonsense and foul language.

At this time, another classmate said to the teacher, "No! Freedom is also limited. How can you write wasteful and foul language? Let your parents know what to do?"

Another student said, "Why is there a sudden restriction on free questions?"

Immediately, more students followed suit.

"Don't you understand what freedom means? It's just 'I don't agree with you, but I will defend your right to speak to the death!'"

"Freedom needs to meet moral standards. If I have freedom, I can mock you at will, and use you as a writing character?"

"Then let's write an essay on 'what is freedom'!"

So, the classmates were quiet for a while, and began to think about what "freedom" is? !

After a period of time, some students asked the teacher again, "Can I limit the number of words? Class time is limited, but the subject of "freedom" is very large, and it is impossible to analyze it with very few words. "

Some students rushed to answer: "The teacher said there is no limit to the number of words, but there is no limit! Still need to discuss?"

"I just don't think it should be written too short, otherwise how could it be possible to make "freedom" clear? ! "

"'Be free or die!' Isn't it just concise and concise? Is it because you write more words that you write better than others?"

"You just don't have this level, so you need to write a little more explanation."

"The teacher said it was a free-form question, with no content limit, no limit on the number of words. You have your own writing, I have mine, why do you want me with you? The teacher didn't say anything!"

When the students mentioned the teacher, the teacher responded aloud: "I will give you free questions, no limit on subject matter, no limit on content, no limit on the number of words, and submit it before the end of the class."

After hearing the teacher speak, the students fell silent again.

After a while, a classmate asked the teacher, "Teacher, will the composition be scored this time? How will it be scored?"

Just as the teacher was about to respond, other students rushed to speak.

"When did the teacher say that we need to score points? It's just homework!"

"Homework is scoring!"

"Isn't it? Scoring? I'm just going to write whatever I want, and now I'm going to rewrite it."

"Rewrite? Not enough time!"

"It shouldn't be scored. The teacher can't change the rules of composition homework at will without the teacher saying it."

"The teacher didn't say it just now. It doesn't mean that there are no rules. Otherwise, how will you score?"

At this time, the teacher said, "It's not that there are no rules, it's just that the rules are set by me. Everyone already knows my rules! It's just..."

"Ha, there are rules!"

"What rules? Why is it up to the teacher to decide? If I want to score points, I also need to know what rules to use. Otherwise, how can I get a high score?"

"Study is not for grades, and homework is not for exams."

"How do you know if this homework will be included in the test score?"

"No, no, no, the teacher must clarify the writing rules, otherwise it will be unfair to write."

"It's not writing rules, it's scoring rules."

"Didn't you say there is no limit to the subject matter, no limit to the content, no limit to the number of words? Why did you suddenly add more rules?"

"How to score without rules? Is it just based on the teacher's preference?"

"You always have good grades, the teacher likes you, you must have high grades!"

"Ha, is the score based on past grades? I'll never pass!"

"Isn't it? Are the scores based on past results?"

"What grades have you had in the past? Isn't this the first time doing classwork?"

"So, without the rules, everyone doesn't know what to do!"

The teacher finally responded: "The rules are not just free questions, there is no limit to the writing content, no limit to the number of words, as long as you submit it before the end of the class."

"It didn't say the scoring standard!"

"When did you say you wanted to score?"

"What are you doing without scoring?"

"practise!"

"Yeah, it should be just practice, no points."

"Ask the teacher, the teacher didn't say anything."

The teacher then responded: "Yes, I never said to score!"

"Scared, no points are scored, I'm tired of worrying about death, I'm tired of writing so many words, and I'm tired of writing seriously. If I knew earlier that I really wrote nonsense and foul language, forget it!"

"Ha, they say you'll lose if you're serious."

"I was serious in class, but now my efforts are in vain."

At this time, there were only ten minutes left in the class, and the discussions among the classmates were still lively.

The teacher said, "There are ten minutes left, students hurry up!"

"No, the discussion is not over, and the writing has not yet started."

"Please write a word, there is no limit to the content and number of words. Haha!"

"Just try it and see what score you get."

"Obviously there is no limit, so the number of words should not be related to the score!"

"How do you know, the teacher said that the rules are set by him."

"Didn't the teacher say "unlimited", you added your own rules, and I don't need to grade you. "

"It's not my grading, but I can't ignore the number of words!"

"Yes, there is no limit to the content and number of words, but not unlimited quality, right?"

"Whether there is intention, it can be seen that the composition with intention should be given a high score."

"Teachers say no grades, why are they talking about grades again?"

"You don't care, of course you don't want to score points, but I'm serious."

"Yeah, how do you know the teacher's requirements without scoring, and how do you know which one is well written?"

"I want to score!"

"Don't count!"

"We vote!"

"The teacher said no points, why vote?"

"It's not fair! Some people don't care, some people care. How can it be fair if you don't score points?"

"You want to score because it's in your favor."

"I'm not for myself, but for everyone."

"I said long ago that I should make it clear, but now I have to say it separately."

"What's the matter now, to write or not to write?"

"Writing with points, not writing without scoring."

"I wrote it, it's time to score!"

"Stupid, you think it yourself!"

"You're stupid first!! Teacher, he spoke ill of me!"

"When you speak ill of you, I only say it's stupid."

"You clearly said to me, but you denied it."

"I didn't say you, you took your own seat. If I did say you, I wouldn't use the word "stupid" to describe you. "

"What would you use to describe me?! Come on, you're mocking me."

"Afraid of you, when I didn't say it."

"You are clearly right, and you said you didn't say anything. You should apologize to everyone."

"What apology, I didn't say anything to you, you are too sensitive."

"Teacher, he spoke ill of me and called me "stupid". "

The teacher said, "The students had a heated discussion just now. I didn't hear it clearly. I'm not sure about the situation, so just shake hands and make peace!"

"I did nothing wrong!"

"I don't accept his apology!"

At this time, the bell rang for the end of the class.

Although the debate did not stop, the teacher still collected the students' compositions on time.

Some students wrote thousands of words, some wrote a page, some just copied what everyone discussed just now, some wrote one subject but rewrote another subject, and some really used "freedom". Some of them have not yet started to write for the title, and they have handed in the three words "free question".

Before the teacher left the classroom, he said to the students, "This time, I will give you a free essay, with no restrictions on the subject matter, content, and number of words. However, some students hope that there will be restrictions and rules, and some students continue to ask for points and the number of words required. , asking for fairness, etc., but ignoring the most important composition content, how to write a free question, and even causing dissatisfaction among other students during the discussion.”

"As a teacher, I also have a responsibility, that is, I think giving everyone "freedom", everyone's composition will be easier, more focused, more able to write what they want to write, and give full play to everyone's creativity, but I ignore the ideas of my classmates, Different people have different views on things, and there are no restrictions, which may make everyone temporarily unable to adapt and feel overwhelmed. "

"However, I hope all of you students will think about it. This free question is just to let the students know that when you have "freedom", are you really free, or do you not understand freedom? Do you use your own freedom, measure freedom, or limit others' freedom to achieve your own freedom? "

"I'm very happy to see the lively atmosphere of discussion. I hope everyone can communicate sincerely with mutual respect and candor. Arguments can spark, but don't use them to hurt others. We should focus on facts, learn from the limited reality of the world, and pursue the pursuit of excellence. The ideal of creative freedom.”

The students seemed to understand but were full of doubts.

The teacher left, and a classmate said, "The teacher told us to give us freedom, but he didn't listen to our advice, fake freedom!"

The debate begins again!
