Some people think that parents should teach children how to be good members of society. Others however, believe that school is the place to learn this. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

While some argue that
parents
 are responsible to explain social norms and rules to their kids, other
people
 claim that educational institutions should teach young
people
 to be a healthy part of a community. The following essay will describe both these statements and I will
also
 explain why I believe
this
 is the main task of
parents
.
To begin
 with, the family is a small community, where a kid spends almost all his time for the
first
 years.
In other words
, each child communicates mainly with his
parents
 and copies a variety of their habits, and in case he can observe an inappropriate action at home, he can not even understand that it is against social norms. As a case in point, a multitude of children who are under special control with social organisations, live in families, where
parents
 tend to break the law or have some kinds of negative addictions. From my point of view, it is crucial for
parents
 to pay attention to the social education of their kids, as they integrate into society with initial knowledge and habits, which take place at their home.
On the other hand
, school is
also
 a significant part of children's lives, and it dramatically contributes to their uprising. To put it differently, during classes, young
people
 connect with their peers, so they obtain different experiences rather than at home,
thus
 teachers should proactively monitor some complex situations and explain the basic principals of communication. To illustrate
this
 point, I visited a school where pupils had mandatory sessions with a teacher in order to discuss possessing dilemmas and complications.
As a result
, we could receive valid and helpful advice in difficult situations, and it helped us to act
as

 a good member of a community. In conclusion, the movement towards the evaluating of the uprising's principals is all too familiar nowadays. While some
people
 claim that schools should teach children how to behave, I totally believe that
this
 is the responsibility of
parents
, as they create the basic set of knowledge, which kids use during communication with other youthful
people
.

Use a variety of complex and simple sentences

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

Examples:

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.

If action is not taken soon on climate change, global warming will get worse.
