There are diverse opinions about whose responsibility it is to nurture

into responsible members of

society

.

While

some schools of thought argue that it is the

, other intellectuals feel it is for the schools to shoulder.

This

essay will critically analyse the two sides of the debate and conclude by stating that the responsibility of building a child into a good citizen falls on the

parents

Use synonyms

. On the one hand,

children

learn about various aspects of being a good citizen in schools

although

Linking Words

the duration of learning could vary. Put in another way, pupils and their peers under the guidance of the teachers spend about eight hours daily playing together and partaking in academic activities. During

this

period, teachers impart knowledge to them about the civic responsibilities of citizens through various types of teachings

such

as active participation in community programmes, classroom discussions on social issues, volunteering

as well as

Linking Words

the inclusion of projects in the curriculum that surround social issues.

While

Linking Words

this

number of hours could appear juicy, I do not think it would suffice to correct the

children

to learn and imbibe the ethics of a good citizen.

On the contrary

Linking Words

, it is axiomatic that

parents

are

children

's first and foundational teachers.

In other words

Linking Words

,

children

master the language, the mother tongue, from their

parents

and

also

imbibe the culture and tradition of their immediate environment from their fathers and mothers.

Furthermore

Linking Words

, the primary link between the

children

and

society

Use synonyms

is the parent and there is a traditional concept that

children

need to be well-groomed at home,

otherwise

Linking Words

, the grooming will be done by

society

Use synonyms

, the outcome of which is often never palatable. Primary evidence of

this

is

children

raised in harmonious families in Africa. They tend to behave more maturely and sensibly than those from dysfunctional homes,

further

Linking Words

lending credence to the view that perhaps, the

parents

Use synonyms

, not the school holds the obligation to nurture

children

aright.

To conclude

Linking Words

, there are valid arguments on both sides.

However

Linking Words

, on balance, the

parents

Use synonyms

, not the school, hold the duty to train

children

Use synonyms

as responsible adults because

parents

are the first contact of the

children

and they connect them to the larger

society
