DO YOU THINK THAT HOME-SCHOOLING IS UNSUITABLE FOR MOST

FAMILIES ?

A(FOR) B(AGAINST)

A--In my opinion,home-schooling maybe suitable for some special families and their

children，but is not suitable for most families. Schools have been in existence for

centuries as suitable place to educate student. School education is more

disciplined ,organized ,standard ,comprehensive ,as opposed to home-schooling .There

is no doubt that school education should be more suitable for most families and their

children .

B--I don't think I can agree with the view just expressed,like most

things ,home-schooling has its positive side and negative side .but the advantage of

home-schooling ,I think ,far outweigh its disadvantage .

A--There are many issues to consider .Home-schooling becomes the primary job of

the parent once it's started .Parent don't need to have PhD's in order to teach their

children. But, if a parent has had only 7th grade education, it's going to be hard to

teach higher levels. If a parent can't read, then it's very difficult to teach another

person anything that involves any level of reading.

B--Such parent that you said just is only a few part .Though people can't home-school

through college ,most families could provide a better quality education to their

children through primary even senior school .And the purpose of education should not

be filling a child with fact like public school .We should educate our children for

life ,not just for achievement test .

A--It's feared that in home-schooling children may not be able to rise above the level

of academic achievement of their parent .Not every father or mother is a good

teacher who is experienced in teaching ,you know .

B--Study after study has show that children that are home-schooling outrank their

public and private school peer in every academic area .There is also the benefit of

reducing your children exposure to peer pressure regarding drug alcohol and sexual

activities .it's also an alternative for families living in isolated rural location or living

temporary aboard .

A--That most home-schooler seem to live on remote farm or have unique lifestyle

make it possible for them to be deeply involved in their children education ,but

home-schooling children might lose their social skill .It may be difficult to foster in

home-schooling a sense of the collective ,cooperation ,team work ,communication

skill .

B--As you said ,may be all of us should think it out again .

IF THE ONLY WAY TO PRESERVE PEACE IS TO PREPARE FOR WAR ?

A(FOR) B(AGAINST)

A--In my esteem ,preparing for war is the only way to preserve peace .If a county

doesn't prepare for war ,he will have few concerns that he will not endeavour to

strengthen military force .A liberty ever said ' live in worry ,die in happiness '.A

country who has not strong military force ,some developed countries will tend to

exploit them for some benefits or damage its benefit which may cause dispute that

disobey the peace .

B--Conflict should be resolved through peaceful means ,war is human tragedy ,millions

of people die and families fall apart as result of war . In war everyone loses ,war

creates suffering for both side .Preserve peace should use peaceful means ,prepare

for war is not as easy as you said ,it will bring us many issue .

A--Have you heard of Chair Mao 's word ' do you want peace ? Please go to prepare

for war .By preparing for war ,then we will motivate and develop our potential to

strengthen our country .' When the country become strong , I think it will guarantee

peace .

B--Have you though what price you would pay for prepare for war .Country in order to

prepare for war will cost much money in army equipment ,and other country will cost

more ,it will lead a terrible consequence --army race .More and more Weapon of Mass

Destruction will be made ,people would become more and more weak ,because if these

thing was used by terrorism ,the whole world will be involved in trouble .

A--We will never be able to get rid of war .Just like developed countries will always

have words in the world .It's a fact we can not change .if developing country becomes

strong ,the devoted country will take a second thought before invade them or damage

their benefit .

B--I agree that we have to do some thing to stop thing .but anyhow ,We should try to

solve it at the negotiation table .In conclusion ,prepare for war is not the only way to

preserve peace ,there are more peaceful means .
