**You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.** ***Some people think that schools are too competitive and that this has a negative impact on children. Others believe the competitive environment encourages children to achieve.*** ***Discuss both these views and give your opinion.*** **Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.** **Write at least 250 words.**

In recent years, the debate on how much competition should be part of

school

is spreading worldwide. Of course, there are many arguments favouring the presence of it and against

this

idea,

this

essay will examine both points of view.

Firstly

, looking into how the

school

system works, it is obvious that competition has a central and big role in it, throught the grading system and the way of testing knowledge. Estabilishing the value of kids using only a number or a letter is, without a doubt, leading them to judge eachother only by that.

For instance

, it is a widely spread habit of teachers to say out loud the grades of a assignment, leading students to insults and discriminations towards who did not very well.

Furthermore

, tests only verify knowledge in the same way for every participants, preventing each personality to stand out for itself. The reason of

that is

to be found in the existence of different types of intelligence,

such

as the social or musical one, that are not tested in

this

system.

On the other hand

, creating challenges and difficulties to overcome will, of course, be a tool to inspire more young generations.

Moreover

, the comparison

that is

formed in a class leads to the inspiration of childrens to try their best to achieve higher goals, to always improve themselves.

For example

, imagine being in a group project with someone who is far more involved in

school

and knows the argument selected in a meticulous way,

this

is the best opportunity for you to learn from him, becoming a better version of you with the goal to overtake that classmate.

In addition

, the presence of student loans or prizes destinated to the person with the highest score achieved, makes pop out smart individuals, who study all day long to reach that result. In conclusion, I think that competition should be part of

school

, obviously not in a predominant amount, because it prepares young kids to the challenges and obstacles they will find throught their life.
