Some people think that parents should teach children how to be good members of the society. Others, however, believe that school is the place to learn this. Discuss both views and give your opinion. Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

It is a widely held belief that parent should teach the children how to be good members of the

society

but there is a strong

counter-argument

amongst sections of people that

school

is the right place to teach children.

However

, I am of the opinion that

this

is a matter to be debated in the light of several factors before any conclusion can be drawn. It is generally believed that parents should guide the children how to deal with the

society

.

This

is mainly because children will obey the words of parents rather than the teachers. In many books, we can see that parents are the

first

teachers. Parents should teach basic qualities like respect, obedience, honesty. Parents should teach those qualities at an early age so that their children can imbibe these qualities

them.

For instance

childhood become

part of someone's personality and characteristics.

Hence

, the things kids learn from their parents have a lasting impression on people. So parents should be careful about teaching their kids the moral values and responsibilities to the

society

. Children by nature mimic their family members and

thus

parents can teach their kids how to be good members of the

society

by performing their duties correctly. Most children obey their parents more than anyone else and the instructions the parents give

the children

laws.

Thus teachers

Thus, teachers

can contribute towards teaching the morality and responsibilities to the children.

On the other hand

, there are certain groups of people who vehemently contend that

school

is the right place to learn how to be good members of the

society

. One of the reasons why

this

view is held is that nowadays children are not having sufficient time to spend with their parents because both of the parents might be employed or they may keep their child in a hostel. In

school children

school, children

will learn the education. The

must

the course structure

so that the child may follow them.

Thus

, it is evident from all discussion that, both the arguments carry equal strength and significance and neither can be refuted outright. I personally subscribe to the proposition that,

school

is the right place to learn how to be good members of the

society
