Many people believe that schools should teach students good behavior as well as other subjects. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

Generally speaking,

behavioral

of or relating to behavior

behavioural

education is as significant as academic education for children to lead a successful life later on. The

school

is responsible for students' overall fundamental development.

However

, imposing the duty only on teachers about inculcating a sense of moral principles in children may not bear the desired outcome.

Thus

, I agree with

this

statement partly, and believe that it must be a mutual responsibility. It is true that students spend their one-

third

time at

school

. They develop several precious skills,

such

as academic learning, cognitive skills, social interactions and etiquettes during their

school

hours. Teachers should emphasize the overall development of students, and they should infuse the moral principles in them along with their academic teaching.

Furthermore

, teachers are armed with better oratory and explanatory skills. They

therefore

could explain them the importance of these skills better than parents. There should be a frequent class that should aim at teaching important traits of life,

such

as honesty, loyalty, civic sense, public etiquettes and discipline. Children spend two-thirds of their time with families. Oftentimes parents teach them about congenial

or from the surroundings. All the moral principles that are

become futile if they are not supported

by parents.

Furthermore

, children pick up both good and bad

from the family

first

.

For example

, they observe certain acts of family members,

such

as abusive

, spitting anywhere, confrontation, procrastination and speaking in a loud tone.

Therefore

, if parents are not vigilant enough for disciplining their children, the whole purpose of learning and teaching culminates into a self- defeating exercise. In conclusion, both teachers and parents are equally responsible for students' good

behaviour

. The process of disciplining students must go hand in hand.
