There is debate about whether parents or schools should take the lead in

teaching children how to become good members of society. Some people argue
that parents are better suited for this role, while others believe that schools are
more important. I agree schools play a more significant role, even though
parents’ education is still crucial.

Parents are the first teachers in a child’s life. From a young age, they guide
their children on how to behave, showing them basic values like respect,
honesty, and kindness. Parents can give personal attention and pass down
family traditions and values. For example, they teach their children to be polite,
to share, and to treat others with care. Since children spend most of their early
years with their parents, these lessons form the foundation of their behaviour.

However, schools offer a more structured and broader environment where


children can learn how to act in a larger community. At school, children meet
peers from different backgrounds and learn how to work with others. This helps
them develop essential social skills such as teamwork, respect for differences,
and handling conflicts. Schools also provide programs and activities like group
projects, sports, and leadership roles, all of which help children practice
responsibility, discipline, and cooperation. These experiences are vital for
becoming active and responsible members of society. Schools expose children
to real-life social situations and teach them how to interact with others in a
structured way. Although parents set the foundation, schools build on it by
offering more opportunities to practice these skills. For instance, a child who
learns honesty at home will face challenges at school where they must apply
this value in group work or during exams.

In conclusion, while parents’ guidance is important in a child’s early life, schools


have a more significant influence on shaping a child’s social behaviour.
