    Home schooling allows children to learn in an environment that has the needs of one or a very few number of students as the focus of the educative process. Parents are willing to invest in their children and can provide targeted provision that prioritises the learning needs of those individuals. Therefore, specific textbooks that are tailored to the child’s mode of learning can be purchased.
    Classroom-based education must, by necessity, cater for the needs of the group as a whole which leaves those the very bright unchallenged and those with special needs falling behind and unsupported. The authorities often take years to recognise the needs of students and they lose years of education in the process. However, homeschooling can benefit such students by shaping the learning environment to cater for their needs by being flexible to adapt.
NO
    Hundreds of experts and researchers ensure the quality of public schools. It is presumptuous for a parent to think they know how to teach a child better than that accumulated wisdom. Just because the child is a product of that individual does not mean that the education knowledge of the parent surpasses that of professionals in that field who have spent years training.
    Furthermore, even the best teachers can be improved by the insight of a third-party; such evaluations are not accessible to home-schooling parents. The danger is that "From the government’s perspective, the world of home education is full of unknowns"; there are not sufficient measures of quality control in place to protect the child and their right to a comprehensive education.

答案 On Home Schooling A new education mode called home schooling has come into public views. The families in many countries have already put it into practice. These parents are ensured that the very specific need of the individual can be satisfied, as their kids will be the focus in the educative process and the courses as well as text books can be tailored for them. Contrarily, experts and researchers are in support of the public schools, because they believe that in most cases, parents are not as capable in teaching as accumulated wisdom in schools. In my view, the time for home schooling is not mature yet. Firstly, there is an uncertainty in home schooling. Since parents do not have a common education background, there is no shared evaluation standard to test the final result of teaching. The children would not be confident of the knowledge they have obtained at home. Secondly, as children of home schooling do not have access to competitions and group examinations, they would often lack a sense of competitive spirit. There will be much trouble for their future job-hunting. Thirdly, children educated at home are often isolated from their peers. They are lonely and tend to lack awareness of teamwork. It is not easy for them to be well adapted to the adult world. In a word, it is not the time to widely carry out home schooling.
解析     考生在下笔之前应先审题，明确写作要求：针对“在家上学好还是不好”这一热议话题，首先总结正反方的意见，然后给出个人观点。文章结构可安排如下：
    第一段：简要概括人们对是在家教育好还是不好的两方观点，并表明自己的观点——在家教育固然有优点，但整体优势不如学校教育。
    第二段：分三点铺陈论证自己的观点。第一，在家上学的教育内容有太多的不确定性，孩子的学习成果没有明确的评估标准；第二，在家上学的孩子缺少竞争环境，缺乏竞争意识；第三，在家上学的孩子缺乏与同龄人的交流，容易变得孤僻，不合群，缺乏团队意识，这导致在进入社会时不能很好地适应成人世界。
    第三段：重申观点——在家教育在目前来看还有很多值得商榷的地方。
