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.

It is vital to encourage

children

to be good members of society. While it is often said that

parents

ought to be responsible to do

this

, I agree with those who think that school is better placed to learn it. There are those who say that

parents

should be responsible for teaching good citizenship. Perhaps the major argument is that they are with their

children

for long periods of time, and

therefore

normally know their

children

inside out.

This

may make them ideally placed to discuss the way people behave with their

children

.

For instance

is that they can lead by example. They may take part in voluntary work at a local food bank or donate blood for patients in need of surgery. By participating in these activities, their child will actually see why it is important to give back to their community.

However

for two reasons. One of these is that it is generally full of skilled teachers who are well trained not only to deliver important life lessons

can participate in various extracurricular activities, including scouts, sports clubs or community service, meaning that they will likely live and work with people from a variety of cultural and social backgrounds.

This

experience can teach

children

not only how to collaborate with others, but

also

the way to contribute to the life of their community. In conclusion,

although

parents

might be well-positioned to teach through discussions and actions, I believe that school should take responsibility for encouraging

children

to become good citizens because of its teaching quality and diverse environment.
