Some people think that a sense of competition in children should be encouraged. Others believe that children who are thaught to cooperate rather than compete become more useful adults. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

There are many who believe that schools ought to teach students how to compete. Others,

however

, differ in their opinion and think that it's better to teach them, the team spirit and cooperation

instead

. In my opinion, whether students should teach children

competition

or esprit-de-core depends on a child's age. On the one hand, those who believe that schools should nurture the quality of

competition

amongst the students argue

this

because,

competition

Suggestion

the competition

encourages them to

work

hard.

In other words

, once a student is brought in

competition

with some of his mates,

this

will force him to

work

even harder.

This

will help him in understanding that the hard

work

is the key to success.

Moreover

, learning the importance of working hard through

competition

will perhaps put him more wiser and prepares him for his future when he has to enter the practical life where he has to compete with others.

For instance

, while finding an employment, getting admissions in the university and so forth.

On the other hand

, there are many who urge that teaching team spirit and cooperation is more important than learning how to compete. It seems reasonable because humans do not live in isolation, neither they can lead a healthy life by not socializing with others.

Thus

, students if not taught how to coordinate in carrying out tasks collectively, will perhaps result in unhealthy social practices once they turn adult. Since schools are just the right place to learn

this

, so teachers should concentrate more on learning collective

work

rather than competing. 

Finally

, in my view, I think that both

competition

and cooperation are indispensable. The younger students have maximum benefit if they are taught the how to live in a society or how to

work

in a collective fashion.

However

, once these children are grown up and start taking their exams, inculcating the sense of

competition

probably have better impact to prepare them for their future life. In conclusion, people may vary in their opinion, but I strongly believe that younger students should learn team spirit while more emphasis should be laid on teaching the importance of hard

work

and

competition

once they turn older. It is suggested that schools should set the separate goals for younger and grown up children in order to ensure that they can get maximum benefit from their schooling.
