2023.09.16下午场｜托福学术讨论写作真题

审题分析：这道题不难。很多同学想必都有不少苦水想一吐而快（?），咋写都行。不过像我这种80后，经历过早7点就要早自习晨读且8点就正式上课下午6点下课晚上还要晚自习到10点半的中学时代，题干中的问题好像从未是个问题。

示范范文：

I think the proposal is unnecessary. Research shows teens “naturally” stay up later but explains nothing. It is more of a phenomenon than a reason. The real problem lies with the loads of homework that force students to stay up later. Whatever the reason might be, there is a "natural" tendency among teachers to assign excess amount of homework. Suppose the students have four classes a day: English, Math, Physics, and History, and each teacher assigns homework for one hour, then the total amount adds up to four hours. For students of average level, it is impossible to do so many calculations and read so many academic literatures. Even an adult would find it too tiring. To be more precise, it is a problem of inappropriate time management and lack of communication and coordination among teachers, because teachers are “naturally” only responsible for the courses they teach and don’t care other courses they don’t teach. So a good school should introduce advanced Education Management Information System (EMIS) to stop the uncontrolled tendency, ensuring that teachers should assign homework in appropriate amount so that students could have enough leisure time and flexible schedule.

老萨自评：

立场跟Kelly是一致的，但解释原因完全不同。Kelly认为学生晚睡是家庭教育的问题，我的观点恰恰相反，是学校时间管理的失败：教师有个天然倾向，只关心负责自己所教的学科，并因此留过量的作业。

那么，所有老师都如此的话，作业总量便会累积到学生难以承受的程度。这个根本不是家长能解决的问题，因为很少有家长能在教学的问题上挑战教师的权威。

你问我怎么会想到从这个角度论证？我以前只教写作的时候，就从来不关心搭班的阅读、听力和口语老师怎么布置作业，一来不是我的职责所在，二来置喙他人学术权威领域是个挺没脑子的低情商行为；但当我从事教学管理之后，开始梳理课后时间管理，便很快发现老师们这一“倾向”。

作业既超量又缺乏协调，这往往对学生非常不友好，而且教学效果也差。但这并不妨碍有同行以留学行业“衡水中学”标榜自居。

我们行业开始了“熬夜军备竞赛”，仿佛谁最能让学生点灯熬油，谁就是家长眼中最认真负责的机构。结果便是，老师累，学生累，家长干看着帮不上忙跟着心累。
