Some people think that is the government's responsibility to transport children to school. Others say that parents should be responsible. What is your opinion?
Children
mandatory attendance at school
is unquestionable, but identifying the main responsible for their transportation every morning is not straightforward. Although
I believe parents
should guarantee their children
wellbeing and therefore
take them to school
safely, some support from the government is also
desirable, especially among deprived families.
Education is probably one of the biggest concerns both parents
need to face when rising a child and overcoming logistic hurdles becomes a daily challenge. For example
, adjusting work schedules to drop-off and pick-up times can jeopardize their careers, affect promotions and impact their wages. This
problem intensifies in mono-parental families when only one person is available to satisfy the children
needs. Therefore
, despite the fact that parents
must ensure children
's transport to school
, there are cases where help is an ultimate necessity.
If parents
are responsible for their children
well-being, it is fair to say that governments are like parents
for all the citizens. Therefore
, if a family lacks the possibility to ensure the education and safety of the youngsters, the authorities should take over that role. From social services to free public transport, there are numerous strategies governments have in hand to support children
's development. For example
, when there are no responsible adults around, children
are directed to an orphanage for the government to take care of them. In the same sense, school
buses should be implemented for those whose parents
are not able to take them to school
.
To sum up, although
is always desirable that families were self-sufficient and able to support, care and protect all their dependents, that is
not always the case. It is the government responsibility to ensure the well-being of the population, including children
transport to school
when the family lacks resources to do it.Submitted by franca.levin on
