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 these views and give your opinion.

Being members of society means that a person must know how to behave and how to take part in it. To do so, some people said that it is the

parents

' responsibility, whilst others think that school is a better

place

to learn that.

Therefore

, in

this

essay, I would like to examine both views and give a plausible conclusion regarding that matter.

Firstly

, talking about the

first

view about

parents

duty in these terms. As we have known,

parents

are the

first

adults that the

children

meet. For

this

reason, It is their responsibility to give a good example to their

children

. Why did I say that? It is simply because young people do not have their

role

model in the

first

phase of their life and the only thing that they see is their

parents

. So, it is very common for

children

to copy their attitude and use that to communicate with others.

For example

, Indonesian

parents

always act friendly wherever they are and their

children

will see that as the common act.

Thus

, when they see a neighbour comes across their house, they will say "hi". In short, we can see that the

role

of

parents

is very big in

this

field. It is because they are a

role

model of their kids no matter what.

On the other hand

, some may say that school is a good

place

to learn how to be a good member of society. It is true that it is a necessary

place

, but it is just a

second

-

place

which means it jobs just to perpetuate what their father and mother have taught to the kids and ensure that these young people understand the meaning of being a part of the community. It is very useless if their

parents

never teach them about it because what they have known in the

first

phase of their life may be ingrained to their brain and it is hard to be removed.

For instance

, a child, who has never been taught to respect others since a kid, finds difficulties in coping with his friends, even though the teacher tries to teach him. It is because he thinks that it is ok to behave like that since his parent never minds about it. In a nutshell, even though school is a

place

to learn about that, I think,

parents

'

role

is much more important since they are the

first

human beings that have an interaction with the kids and it instantly creates the assumption that their

parents

are a good model.

Hence

, in the end, I support the

first

view that it is

parents

responsible' to give guidance about taking part in society. .
