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 own opinion.

The level of morality these days is decreasing. Some people believe that parents are responsible for the proper upbringing of their children while others are of the opinion that the

school

is

better place

a better place

for

this

. Both views have some points which I will discuss below. Parents are the primary

caregiver

and

this

is a major role in the life of a child. They are the

first

people the child recognized and so would trust them easily.

Furthermore

, most children take their parents as role models and would willingly listen and obey their teachings.

For instance

, the male children tend to walk in the steps of their fathers both academically and career-wise.

Finally

, the cultural and religious beliefs towards positive characters can be easily transferred from parents to their offspring.

Conversely

, the opponents of parental role in the moral behaviour of a child argued that the

school

is equipped with human resources,

such

as teachers, guidance

counselors

someone who gives advice about problems

counsellors

, and coaches, who are trained personnels

guiding these children. They help them discover their abilities, support and correct them when necessary.

Secondly

, the environment encourages the children to express their ignorance and make mistakes, after all, it is the best place to find answers and be duly corrected.

Lastly

, the

school

rewards good behaviour by giving better scores, public appraisals and giving accolades.

This

is a means of promoting excellence in learning and character. Overall, to produce responsible individuals, parents and the

school

need to work

synergistically

to guide children on the right path to becoming good citizens.
