【頭腦風暴】
小學畢業(yè)后，鄭亞旗即在家接受“私塾式”教育。厭惡大陸教育方式的鄭淵潔決定自己培養(yǎng)孩子。爸爸給他編撰了有趣的教材，例如，把中國的刑法的419項罪名編成了419個童話故事。三年之后，鄭亞旗學從這所特殊的“學校”畢業(yè)了。
鄭淵潔還發(fā)明了“逆向考試法”，就是兒子學完一個章節(jié)后，就這個章節(jié)的內(nèi)容自己編一張考卷來考爸爸。只要兒子能讓爸爸考不及格，那兒子就及格了。
童話大王的家庭教育是成功的案例，亞旗18歲的時候已經(jīng)是精神獨立，思想成熟，性格陽光的少年，他也更早地經(jīng)歷了求職和創(chuàng)業(yè)。但是，不是每個人都有時間成本和知識儲備去教育自己的孩子，因此，家庭教育并不適合大部分的父母。
【作家立場】 家庭教育有其獨有的利好，但是，不適合大部分的父母。
【思路拓展】
◆ 家庭教育(私塾教育)的利好
① 因材施教，量體裁衣，父母最愛孩子，最了解孩子，因此，對于孩子的教育更加耐心和有針對性。
② 增強家庭紐帶的很好的方式，父母和子女成為朋友，例如，作家鄭淵潔教育孩子，就是成功的案例。
◆ 課堂教育的利好
① 學習效果更好， 對比父母，教育者們專業(yè)上訓練有素，了解教育的常識，可以總結學科的精華，因此，可助孩子們在學業(yè)上更加優(yōu)秀。
② 學校教育是一種獲得群體性的經(jīng)驗成長的重要方式，小組討論及課堂互動，來自老師的監(jiān)督和同齡人的壓力可以幫助自律性差的孩子們專注于學習。相反，接受家庭教育者，有可能失去學習的興趣和耐心，在社交方面力不從心，變得孤獨或自閉。
【范文賞析】
【首段】背景介紹 + 爭議焦點+ 作家立場
Parents are, in most cases, extremely concerned about the growth of their children. When conventional teaching fails some parents, some of them prefer to educate their children at home. People have been pondering, for many years, whether or not home schooling is superior to traditional teaching without reaching any definite consensus. As I see it, as for those home learners, what will be lost is greater than what will be gained.
【解析】
1. fail sb 使某人失望
2. is superior to 優(yōu)越于
3. What will be lost is greater than what will be gained. 弊大于利
【二段】 家庭教育的利好
Some parents believe that it is more feasible to let their children receive domestic education because they believe this mode of education enables children to grow better both academically and mentally. One of the most glaring merits of family education is that students with diverse abilities can receive the custom-tailored education, which fits for them. After all, parents are most familiar with their children and willing to devote all their hearts to children’s character-training and moral education. Another benefit coming from parenting is that it is a good way to strengthen the family tie. The more time parents spend cultivating their children，the better parent-children relationship will be.

1. grow better both academically and mentally 在學術和心智上都更好地成長
2. Students with diverse abilities can receive the custom-tailored education 不同的學生可以接受量體裁衣的教育。

4. parenting n父母對于孩子的教育

【三段】 家庭教育的弊端
Home education, however, might trigger some disadvantages to some extent. Virtually, on no account can we ignore its potential drawbacks. On the downsides, those home learners tend to be socially inadequate due to the lack of group experience. Even worse，one might become introverted or eccentric when he or she is confined to home schooling for a long time. By contrast, traditional classroom education can help youngsters to learn to how to communicate and associate with their peers. Another demerit might be that in comparison with parents, teachers are professionally well-trained, know the common sense of education and can summarize the core of knowledge. In this sense, those who receive traditional education are liable to excel academically.

In closing，my stand is that although home education might have some advantages in some facets, it is not universally suitable for most people. For one thing, educators outshine parents in terms of disseminating knowledge. For another, those who receive home education are more likely to be emotionally underdeveloped in their relations with their peers.
【解析】
1. Educators outshine parents in terms of disseminating knowledge 在傳授知識方面，教育者比家長更勝一籌。
2. Those who receive home education are more likely to be emotionally underdeveloped. 接受家庭教育者可能在情感上發(fā)育不良。
