I see that you are from Israel, perhaps there is a different practice as compared to my experience in the United States.

All through middleschool, highschool, and college every writing assignment has had a minimum word or page count.

Sometimes we had maximum requirements, but oftentimes just a minimum.

I was nearly a straight-A student on writing assignments in college. I'd often write well below the minimum requirements by filling out my outline, then I'd add fluff around it to reach the minimum words without actually adding any meaningful content, still scored fine.

Truly a profound waste of time.
