However, immediately after the news of the female student writing 21 pages of paper, a heated debate broke out on social media. Many people expressed admiration, praise and “wishing” for the high score of this female student.

But many other opinions say that 150 minutes to write 21 pages is not enough time to write correctly and well. Other opinions agree that the female student's writing is "empty and blatant".

Judgment turned into "cyber violence" when an article by an elderly doctor who is a university lecturer about a 21-page exam aimed at a female student who was the top student sparked a wave of attacks on social networks.

In the published article, this doctor commented that the 21-page essay was written "as fast as a typewriter". This person also used many insulting words and speculations about the female student such as "brainless", "hands faster than brain", "born to brag"... along with a picture of the girl.

Notably, when this article was posted publicly on social networks, it received thousands of likes, comments that were sarcastic, disparaging, and personally attacking the 15-year-old female student, but it received a lot of support, encouragement, and even "contributions" with many words and comments. Among them, there were also older people who participated in "criticizing" literature.

“Attacking a child on social media is reprehensible behavior”

Mr. Tran Quang Dai - teacher at Tran Phu High School (Duc Tho, Ha Tinh) expressed his indignation at the attack on a student on social networks.

“Personally, I think this is a very good student. When the judges gave him a near-perfect score for an essay, it means they were very considerate and careful, with enough basis to give him the above score.

"We have to face the reality that nowadays many students have a deeper, sharper and more creative way of thinking and expressing themselves than their teachers, even though they are still very young, so getting a score of 10 in the Literature exam is normal and also very happy" - teacher Tran Quang Dai shared.

Ms. Le Thi Nga, a Literature teacher in Thanh Hoa, said that in her career of educating people, she has graded many exams with scores of 9 and above. These are exams with good thinking ability, creativity, difference and full of emotion.

“Writing short, concise but complete essays is very good, but writing long essays, not repeating ideas, expressing them fluently is even better. There is no rule that requires essays to be long to get high scores. The important thing is that the examiner sees the writing ability.

Only those who have read the candidate’s essay have the right to judge. Only by reading can one know what is good or bad about it. A student who gets a high score does not deserve to be dragged into the war of curses and rude insults of the online community,” Ms. Nga shared.

It is known that NTBM female student has won many awards and achievements in literary competitions.

In grade 4, the female student won first prize in the Literature and Writing Contest organized by the school. Grade 5 won first prize in this contest at the district level. In July 2022, the female student participated in the 2022 Reading Culture Ambassador Contest organized by the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Ha Tinh in coordination with the Department of Education and Training of this province.

In May 2023, BM was honored to receive a certificate of merit from Ms. Dang Thi Quynh Diep - Director of the Department of Education and Training of Ha Tinh for winning the first prize in Literature in the Provincial Excellent Student Competition for Grade 9, school year 2022-2023.
