Nowadays, teaching students to be competing at
school
is debatable. Many people argue that
children
must be taught to be working competitively at
school
while others think that being cooperative and having good teamwork is more valuable.
This
essay will discuss both ideas and state my personal opinion regarding the views. On the one hand, many believe that
children
at
school
are required to be educated as competitive students. Educating students to be competitive at
school
may increase their individual performance to survive their social
life
in the future.
For example
, I have a brother who has been spoiled by my parents and
as a result
, he is not capable of deciding anything in his
life
without my parents.
Therefore
, it is crucial to train
children
to be independent and competitive from a young age.
On the other hand
, others think that teamwork skills and working together as a team are more beneficial for the
children
to survive. Training
children
to be able to work as a team may help them to overcome difficulties in social
life
in the future.
For instance
, when one of my friends was having depression, he did not know how to ask for help.
Thus
, learning how to be sociable and having good teamwork, will help
children
to overcome one of these issues. In conclusion,
although
some individuals believe that working competitively may sound like a safer option for survival, others are convinced that being cooperative will
also
help
children
to live better. In my personal opinion, I believe that having both skills will give the best outcome for
children
to survive their future
life
.
