Some people think that a sense of competition in children should be encouraged. Others believe that children who are taugh to co-operate rather than compete become more useful adults. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

In recent years, a debate regarding educational methods for

children

has emerged.

In particular

, some people argue that there should be

competition

among them,

while

others say that it is detrimental to their growth. I agree with the second argument because nowadays co-operation is the most important skill that can be taught to a child. In

this

essay, a brief explanation of the matter will be given. It is undoubtedly true that strong

competition

could have some positive effects on some

children

. In fact, it could encourage someone to give his best and reach their maximum potential.

Furthermore

, comparing themselves with peers can be useful as a motivation to pupils.

For instance

, almost everyone has some friend really talented in something that motivates them to give 100% and

this

can be true for

children

too.

On the other hand

, there are some detrimental aspects that overweigh these possible positive aspects.

Firstly

, in modern society, it is more important to know how to collaborate with others in teams, rather than being the most bright student.

Moreover

, extreme

competition

among

children

has developed in the years a toxic culture of prevailing on others at every cost, which is more harmful than beneficial.

For example

, some studies suggest that

children

taught to work in teams and uplift each other are generally more successful and less stressed in their adult life. In conclusion, I think that

children

, especially in school, should be taught to co-operate

,

because it is a needed skill of

competition

has limited benefits compared with the disadvantages,

whereas

teamwork is more required and helps live a more fulfilled life.
