Issue 17
Formal education tends to restrain our minds and spirits rather than set them free.

Write a response in which you discuss which view more closely aligns with your own position and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider ways in which the statement might or might not hold true and explain how these considerations shape your position.

我的原思路：
从学习科目分类，从各科学习中也学到自由思想

Thesis Sentence: The ultimate goal of education is well-rounded mind. Even though current formal education with limitation in courses arrangement and teaching approaches, formal education brings the idea of free to us instead of seemly restraining our minds and spirits.

TS1: In history class, we learnt what we can do if we are faced with inequality and disfranchisement.
（雨伞革命）

TS2: In science class, we learnt that even authority could be challenged, and always we should be brave in academic exploration.

TS3: In language class, we learnt how to communicate with world outside, which opens our mind and set us free.

It is not the way of teaching matters, but the content in lectures.

原思路存在问题和感悟：
可行但是要论证清楚，language变成foreign language会更好。

讨论结果：
另一种思路是从formal education的不同时间阶段分。
（１）小学。比较强调creativity，这个时候是不restrain的
（２）中学。课业升学压力，这个时候就restrain了
（３）大学。Restrain和set free不冲突。这个阶段要narrow down focus，只有这样才能更深入从小领域获得更多，一定程度的restrain换来更大程度的free
