2.Most agree that we should be training children to recycle wastes to preserve the Earth’s natural resources. However, some believe that parents should teach their children to recycle waste while others feel schools are more responsible. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

It is widely agreed that teaching

children

about recycling has significant impacts on them and our planet over time. Yet, opinions diverge when discussing whether the school or the

parents

bear a greater responsibility.

This

essay will elaborate on both these views and issue my opinion that schools are more responsible for instilling

this

sustainable

practice

into students’ minds. On the one hand,

parents

are essential in the early training of

children

’s recycling.

Firstly

,

children

can

practice

recycling fist-hand in an everyday domestic setting. They can deal with a variety of recyclables and compostables, giving them a realistic situation in which to

practice

. More importantly, getting involved enables

children

to acknowledge that they play a role in nature conservancy.

Secondly

,

parents

are the primary educators for

children

in the pre-school years, during which

parents

can seize the perfect opportunity to mould their behaviours and set them up with an awareness that makes a positive difference throughout their lives.

On the other hand

, schools are

also

responsible. The benefits of school-oriented recycling education are multifold. Primarily,

children

can learn about recycling in a fun and intriguing environment at school.

For example

, games, competitions, and watching environmental films are fascinating educational programs that stimulate students to learn about and

practice

recycling.

Children

are more willing to participate in

this

activity with their peers than to sit through tedious parent lectures.

Furthermore

, educators can leverage rules and regulations to discipline

children

's sustainable behaviour, rewarding good behaviour to encourage it and punishing unsatisfactory ones to discourage it. In conclusion, proponents of parental responsibility believe in the value of household chores,

while

the other side argues that school can make it more interesting. In my opinion, educational institutions yield more rewarding results on

this

because teenagers oftentimes are rebellious and disobedient to their

parents

’ instructions, yet more willing to do so with their peers.
