Some people think that it is governments’ responsibility to transport children to school, while others think parents should get their children to school. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
题目大意：
有人说送孩子上学是政府的责任，而其他人说应该让父母送孩子上学。讨论双边观点，给出你的立场。
思路解析：
这是一道双边类大作文，讨论的政府和家长谁应该负责送孩子上学。双边讨论类的题目，可以自由讨论双方各自的利弊，你可以同意某一方观点也可以持中立（都同意或都反对）。题目理解上不算难，审题时候需要注意，要围绕着transport children to school展开讨论，把这个责任完全归于政府或者父母都有不合理之处，因此建议持两边都反对的态度，下面就和大家一起来看下具体观点。
先来看政府的责任。政府有责任送孩子上学主要有两方面原因，一是纳税人本身缴纳的税收包括教育、公共交通等方面，既然如此，政府解决孩子上下学的问题应该是纳税人可以享受的权益。二是针对一些家长无法送孩子上下学的情况，比如像留守儿童的家长长期在其他地方打工不在孩子身边，那政府应该解决接送问题来保障孩子正常上下学。但与此同时，这样做的问题也很明显，对于大城市而言，学校数量、学生数量是非常多的，其产生的上学线路问题会变得无比复杂。如果要政府设置班车来覆盖到每个孩子的上学线路，会产生非常巨大的车辆、人力等额外成本，而如何合理规划也是非常大的难题。
再来看家长的责任。家长作为孩子的监护人，有义务负责解决孩子的上学问题，保障孩子上学路上的安全和准时。同时，接送孩子的过程也是家长对孩子的陪伴，可以增进父母与孩子的感情，提升孩子的幸福感。而对于那些有私家车或者家离学校比较近的家长来说，接送孩子并不会太麻烦，让家长直接接送可以给政府节约不少的成本。而如果将接送责任全部归为家长责任所会带来的问题也很明显，比如上面所说，家长在其他地方工作而非孩子身边，让其接送孩子并不现实。对于那些家离学校距离较远又没有私家车的家长来说，让其送孩子上学再去上班很可能导致其上班迟到等问题，如果有班车能够负责接送孩子，无疑能减轻家长的负担。
范文示例：
There is an assumption that governments be responsible to send children to school, while others say it should be parents’ responsibility. From my perspective, it is simplistic to place more emphasis on either view as opposed to the other, because neither side is justified enough to represent the entire picture
On the one hand, it is generalized to assume the transport to and from schools to be governments’ responsibility. Some people may deem the service as a welfare benefit deserved by taxpayers; nevertheless, there are lots of factors to be taken into account in relation to the feasibility of the idea. A key consideration is the costs: I doubt that the municipal governments of populous cities can afford enough school buses and drivers to meet the needs of each family; not to be left behind is the potential congestion caused by increased school buses during rush hours. In this respect, many parents may prefer to send children to schools by other means, whether by public transport or by private cars.
By the same token, I also don’t believe it necessary for parents to send children to schools. While some might argue that accompanying their children to schools every day is a key part of quality time with their beloved ones, it doesn’t mean that all parents should follow this way, especially for commuters. Living in a fast-paced society, those leading a hectic life are usually not allowed extra time for sending children to schools before hurrying to work. With this in mind, sometimes school buses seem to be an alternative option.
From what has been discussed above, it is my conclusion therefore, whether it should be authorities or parents to send children to schools cannot be discussed in the abstract, but judged in contexts.
