The education you receive from your family is more important than the education you receive from school. To what extent do you agree with this statement and why?
It has been said that
education
from family members
is more essential than school
education
. I totally agree with this
idea.
To begin
with, educating at home
is more crucial since parents are the closest people
to their children
and are most likely to affect children
's behaviours and values. Since people
at young ages usually spend hours at home
with their family members
before or after school
, they were taught by the behaviours of their family members
unconsciously and in ,turn they have formed their values gradually. For example
, many repeat criminals take crime as a normal part of their life
and do not feel regret about it, as they were living in a family with frequent domestic violence and a lack of crime education
from their parents when they were kids. On the contrary
, the influences from classmates and teachers in the school
are limited, since students cannot always keep communicating and interacting with them for hours just like they are with their family members
.
On top of that, educating from home
can cover a lot of ground that school
education
cannot cover and such
discipline of education
are directly linked to people
's normal life
. Apparently, family members
always teach us some life
skills
from many aspects whereas teachers in school
put more emphasis on academic subjects. For instance
, many people
have learned how to cook and how to spend and save money from their parents when they are minors. After coming to age, they will benefit from the knowledge of cooking and financial management skills
they have learned since these skills
help them feed themselves and become independent. In contrast
, the instructions about natural science they have studied in school
seem not that helpful to their lives.
In conclusion, I firmly believe that education
from home
is more valuable than school
, due to the fact that children
's value and their future life
skills
are relying on home
education
rather than school
curriculum. Therefore
, older people
in the family should pay more attention to communicating and teaching their children
with more patience and responsibility.Submitted by hbljy123 on
