Some people believe that teachers should be responsible for teaching students the difference between right and wornd. Others say that teachers should only teach academic subjects. Discuss both viewpoints and give our own opinion.

The issues surrounding

education

have always been debatable topics for educators and learners. Opinions are divided on whether the

education

system should only focus on delivering ethical

or should the teaching be mainly about academic matters. I am inclined towards the idea that both ethical and academic knowledge are crucial to students’ development, in a sense that knowing what is right or wrong leads to better decision-making in life and academic

subjects

will significantly improve ones’ critical thinking. On the one hand, offering ‘civic’

lessons

throughout years of

education

help juveniles choose the best options in various stages of their lives.

For instance

, from high school I learnt about the detrimental effects of smoking cigarettes and becoming addicted to it would incur risks to the smokers and the surrounding people alike. Since

then

, I have always refused any tobacco products because I have acknowledged that smoking is a wrongful choice.

Therefore

, teaching ethical

lessons

allows students to have a clear perception in choosing what is right and wrong in real life in order to make more sensible decisions.

On the other hand

, academic units have always been taught from elementary school until university because they help students’ cognitive development.

Subjects

such

as arithmetics manifest the ability in problem-solving and critical thinking. Literature, drawing and singing

lessons

enhance creativity and sometimes learners can discover their inner talents.

performance.

As a result

, these merits obtained from learning these

subjects

are

beneficial for students in the future. In conclusion, both academic and civic

lessons

hold certain aspects of importance in students’ overall intellect. I entirely believe that a human being must adopt both
