3ebedeb0e4f6 | 6120EF6FC0BF | However, in high school, it is better to give students more freedom because in their careers they will not always have someone telling them what to do every step of the way and they will have to think for themselves | Counterclaim | Effective |
e52f1cab76f7 | 6120EF6FC0BF | But, it is not smart to give students complete freedom as they will have someone who wants something specific out of them when they get a job.
