解析与审题

复现情况：2014年3月8日原题

首先要弄清楚本题要求考生回答的问题，即要求学生在校接受全日制教育，直到18岁，你是否同意这个观点？有些同学可能一上来就表示同意，因为教育嘛，越多越好，最后可能就将此题引向讨论教育的重要性，比如找好工作，挣高工资，等等。

这样写，当然就是跑题。因为，题目中的18岁，考生完全没有考虑。一般义务教育是到15岁，这是基本背景，现在要延长到18岁，也就是强行要求所有15-18岁的人也都去学校学习。但我们知道，这样做其实是很不合理的。因为，15-18岁已经算长大了，因此来自贫穷家庭的孩子，应该帮助父母；与此同时，15-18岁的孩子，能读书或不能读书，已经基本定型了，强行要求不会读书的孩子继续去学校浪费三年光阴，不如让他们去工作积累经验。

因此，本题要求的，不是教育的重要性，而是是否应该把15-18岁的孩子强行关在学校。答案是：虽然教育很重要，但强行孩子读到初中（middle school）就行了，至于是否要求他们读高中（high school），则需要斟酌一番了。

11月21日作文真题参考高分范文

Almost all countries in the world today require children under 15 to receive compulsory full-time education, but recently some educationalists suggest that this age should be extended to 18 years old. While receiving more education is absolutely necessary, I do not think all young adults aged from 15-18 must stay at school.

Normally having finished their middle school before they reach 15, most young people are already equipped with the basic literacy skills and general knowledge of the world, so the government should not spend more money on their further education, especially when it has other important investment sectors such as medical care and technological development. In this case, it would be impossible to ask all parents to send their children to high school because many families are so poor that they simply cannot afford the expensive tuition. Even if the government helps to waver the tuition fee, some young adults still cannot continue their education because they are old enough to work and help support their family.  

Besides, not all children are interested in going further to high school. Those with academic bend of mind should of course be encouraged to continue their education since with more education, they stand better chances of finding more satisfying jobs, earning more money, and therefore being more successful in life. But for those who are not academically competent, it is pointless to require them to spend another three years in school. Instead, they should be allowed to go to the job market and increase their work experience. Indeed, we have seen many people who did not go to high school but later became very successful entrepreneurs.

In conclusion, I believe young people should be encouraged to receive more education after 15, but it should not become a state policy. Compelling all young people to be full-time students till 18 years old is not only impractical but also unwise.
