【頭腦風暴】
① 老師喜歡看芒果臺的《變形記》，有一集描述的是貴州貧困地區(qū)的留守兒童，他們的父母都在城市里打工，家庭貧困，父母辛苦賺錢僅僅是維持孩子的基本生活和讓孩子有機會接受更好的教育。這些父母，不可能有經(jīng)濟成本去專門學習育兒培訓課程。
② 對于很多社會精英而言，盡管他們有經(jīng)濟實力參加育兒培訓課程，但是，他們又沒有時間和精力，所以，讓他們專門學習育兒培訓課程也是不現(xiàn)實的，盡管他們可能有學習的愿望。
【作家立場】
雖然我們不能低估親自學習育兒課程可能帶來的利好，但是，不是所有的父母都可以親自學習育兒培訓課程。
【思路拓展】
初為父母學習育兒培訓課程的利好：
① 我承認，在時間和經(jīng)濟條件允許的情況下，父母們學習育兒課程對于孩子的教育和成長有利好的影響，因為父母們正確的教育和培養(yǎng)會使孩子們更加健康地快樂地成長，同時，這有助于增強家庭紐帶。
為何不是所有的父母都能學習育兒培訓課程：
①對于很多社會精英而言，例如，繁忙的企業(yè)家或文體明星，他們多數(shù)忙于事業(yè)發(fā)展，沒有時間和精力去專門學習育兒課程。但是，他們可以努力賺錢，聘請專業(yè)的育兒老師來教育孩子，因此，父母的努力同樣有助于孩子們的健康成長。
②對于貧困家庭而言，父母的可支配收入有限，學習育兒課程雖有利好，卻會增加父母的經(jīng)濟負擔，在現(xiàn)實生活中很難實現(xiàn)。例如，我喜歡看芒果臺的《變形記》 (一部紀錄片)，有一集描述的是貴州貧困地區(qū)的留守兒童，他們的父母都在城市里打工，孩子們的生活非常貧困和艱苦，父母辛苦工作僅是維持孩子的基本生活和 讓孩子們接受良好教育。這些父母，不可能有經(jīng)濟成本去專門學習育兒培訓課程。
【范文賞析】
【首段】 背景介紹 + 爭議焦點 + 作家立場
Parents are the initial teachers who exert a subtle influence on the character-training and mental growth of their children. Fine parenting is what every couple with child aspires after. People have been debating the pros and cons of requiring parents to participate in the childcare training courses without reaching any definite consensus. As I see it, even though ideal parenting will play essential roles in terms of children’s rearing, not every couple with child has to partake of the childcare training courses.
【二段】初為父母學習育兒課程的利好：
Indeed, I have to concede that some merits could be gained via encouraging parents to get involved in childcare-related training courses. The most striking merit is that these courses help the new parents acquire enough basic knowledge on how to see to a baby. It is conceivable that parents won't do improper things when caring the little babies, which can avoid the hurt to the babies. Yet, this is not universally suitable for every family with children, and sometimes the basic knowledge on baby-caring could be offered by other ways.
【三段】為何不是所有的父母都應該學習育兒課程：
Also，there are numerous social elites who seldom have time to take the training courses. Compelling them to learn the child-care related courses is not only a waste of their time but also a loss for their careers because they would generate less social value. Likewise, as for those who cannot afford the cost of the course, they could acquire child-care knowledge via books, TV programs or the Internet because these couples have to make a decent living and to feed their newly born baby. Lastly, Even though care training enjoys some merits, it might disturb the development of creative thoughts that parents conceive of to raise a child. In this sense, the new method might be misled by the courses.
【尾段】總結立場
Overall, my stand is that childcare training courses might not be really needed. Actually, when it comes to how to rear and educate children, the option should be more directly given to every individual parent.
