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 own opinion.

Without a doubt, adolescents should be taught how to be a responsible part of
society
. Many people argue who can easily teach them that –
parents
 or teachers. I believe that it is
parents
’ role to introduce these characteristics to young people as early as possible. In
this
 essay, I will examine both notions and state my own.
Firstly

Moreover
, kids usually ask a lot of questions, as they are very interested in what surrounds them and how

 works.

 of social life. What is more, often as teenagers grow up they are less eager to learn new things and sometimes it might be too late. If they do not have a good environment that they grow up in, they will be highly influenced by their friends and might think that these are the morals they should refer to in life. Later, when

Then
school
 is a perfect place for that as there are little ones from different families and they learn how to respect and love one another. All in all, children can be taught how to act in
society
 either at home or in
school
. In my opinion, the best
time
 to do it is as early as possible by
parents
, because
that is
 the
time
 when the young ones are the most eager to learn.
