　　【头脑风暴】
　　小学毕业后，郑亚旗即在家接受“私塾式”教育。厌恶大陆教育方式的郑渊洁决定自己培养孩子。爸爸给他编撰了有趣的教材，例如，把中国的刑法的419项罪名编成了419个童话故事。三年之后，郑亚旗学从这所特殊的“学校”毕业了。
　　郑渊洁还发明了“逆向考试法”，就是儿子学完一个章节后，就这个章节的内容自己编一张考卷来考爸爸。只要儿子能让爸爸考不及格，那儿子就及格了。
　　童话大王的家庭教育是成功的案例，亚旗18岁的时候已经是精神独立，思想成熟，性格阳光的少年，他也更早地经历了求职和创业。但是，不是每个人都有时间成本和知识储备去教育自己的孩子，因此，家庭教育并不适合大部分的父母。

　　【作家立场】 家庭教育有其独有的利好，但是，不适合大部分的父母。

　　【思路拓展】
　　◆ 家庭教育(私塾教育)的利好
　　① 因材施教，量体裁衣，父母最爱孩子，最了解孩子，因此，对于孩子的教育更加耐心和有针对性。
　　② 增强家庭纽带的很好的方式，父母和子女成为朋友，例如，作家郑渊洁教育孩子，就是成功的案例。
　　◆ 课堂教育的利好
　　① 学习效果更好， 对比父母，教育者们专业上训练有素，了解教育的常识，可以总结学科的精华，因此，可助孩子们在学业上更加优秀。
　　② 学校教育是一种获得群体性的经验成长的重要方式，小组讨论及课堂互动，来自老师的监督和同龄人的压力可以帮助自律性差的孩子们专注于学习。相反，接受家庭教育者，有可能失去学习的兴趣和耐心，在社交方面力不从心，变得孤独或自闭。

　　【范文赏析】
　　【首段】背景介绍 + 争议焦点+　作家立场
　　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 优越于
　　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.
　　【解析】
　　1. grow better both academically and mentally 在学术和心智上都更好地成长
　　2. Students with diverse abilities can receive the custom-tailored education 不同的学生可以接受量体裁衣的教育。
　　3. devote all their hearts to children’s character-training and moral education 全心投注于专注于孩子们的性格培养和道德教育
　　4. parenting n父母对于孩子的教育
　　5. strengthen the family tie 增强家庭联系
　　【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.
　　【解析】
　　1. tend to be socially inadequate 倾向于变得社交方面力不从心

　　【尾段】 亮明观点 + 总结理由
　　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 在传授知识方面，教育者比家长更胜一筹。
　　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发育不良。
