Some people think that children should be taught at school to recycle materials and avoid waste. Other people believe that children should be taught this at home. Discuss both opinions and give your own opinion.
It has long been a subject of discussion whether
schools
have the responsibility to teach students the importance of recycling or whether they should learn from their parents
. In my opinion, combined efforts, be it schools
or parents
are required to educate children
about the importance of recycling.
On the one hand, some believe that children
should learn about waste control at home
because parents
have more opportunity and time
than school. This
is because ,from a very early age, parents
can teach young ones how to recycle, even before school starts. Therefore
, parents
have the opportunity to instil a sense of environmental ethics. Furthermore
, children
spend a lot of time
at home
. Therefore
, parents
can set a good example themselves by recycling different items. For example
, how to deal with plastic bottles and cardboard. Youngsters are good at imitation behaviour, for this
reason, when they observe their parents
at home
, they tend to follow.
On the other, people believe that schools
are the main sources of learning and therefore
, children
should learn waste control in schools
. This
is because sometimes even parents
are not aware of proper methods of recycling. However
, schools
can play a role in teaching parents
about recycling through children
. Moreover
, educators are aware of different teaching methodologies, which can be fun for students in the class. One example, teachers can teach students how to make crafts out of plastic bottles and tote bags from old clothes. This
could be fun and teaching at the same time
for children
.
In conclusion, children
spend more time
at home
; therefore
, they have more time
to learn recycling at home
. However
, the primary aim of schools
are teachings that include all the aspects of life. In my opinion, both parents
and schools
have mutual responsibility in the aggregate to teach children
about recycling.Submitted by therana07 on
