These days, it is not uncommon to see young people misbehaving in the community and on various social media platforms. Whiles many are suggesting that
parents
have failed to raise their kids to fit into society, others
on the other hand
are blaming the school authorities for not training them well. Despite the fact that these children spend
time
with their
tutors
in school, personally, I believe that their guardians are solely responsible for their
upbringing
and as
such
, they should take full responsibility. I will elucidate both views in
this
essay and draw a conclusion.
To begin
with, it is the duty of
parents
to teach these young
onesChange to a genitive case
show examples
morals. Charity they say begins at home and these minors start learning wrongs and good things from their homes.
For instance
, in a survey conducted in the western part of Africa, it was revealed that young people who were disrespectful in their societies and were abusing drugs had
parents
or guardians demonstrating similar attitudes. With
this
, it is clearly understood that these minors learn most good and bad things from their homes and
also
, when they see their elders portraying
such
characters, they think they are good ways and copy them.
Secondly
, youngsters spend a
lot
of
time
with their family and
thus
, these family members have ample
time
to train them as compared to schools whereby their
tutors
spend not more than 8 hours with them.
on the hand, teachers
also
have roles to play in their
upbringing
. At
this
tender age, they listen to what their school teachers tell them a
lot
. Most of them believe that their masters are always right and tend to go by their orders.
For instance
, school-going children between the ages of 5-7 years mostly repeat the actions and words spoken by their class
tutors
. Again, some of the subjects studied by these pupils contain a
lot
of these morals, to illustrate, programs
such
as religious and moral education
as well as
social studies help to educate them on the do's and don'ts.
However
, despite the fact that teachers
also
have their roles in moral
upbringing
, it should not be their core duties because they spend small hours with these kids and
moreover
, they have a
lot
of students in the classroom to take care of,
hence
they might not pay attention to each and every one.
To summarize, both
tutors
and
parents
have their roles to play in children's
upbringing
,
nevertheless
, guardians must take it as their main duty to do so because they spend more
time
with their kids at home and
also
, the behaviour they put up is been learnt by their wards even before they start schooling.
