There is a heated dispute about education. Some think that parents should educate children how to be a qualified member of society, others, hold the opinion that school is where such education is to be held. Personally, I agree with the latter on the basis that school provide efficient factors for students to enjoy the membership in a group before they step to the universities.
Admittedly, parents are children’s most intimate people and ideal instructors in their primary education. Parents are responsible for children’s physical and mental development, for it is generally accepted that an excellent parent will have an excellent child. Parents are also children’s soul constructors. Some children had a misery lives, when they grow into adults, most of them become offenders, which poses a huge threat to the whole society. Therefore, parents play a pivotal role in instructing children to make contributions to the society.
Albeit, school, as some mentioned, is the very place to learn how to be members of society. In the first place, school is where the majority of education takes place. Teachers are well trained to educate children in a more scientific and sophisticated way. In the second place, parents might pose some drawbacks in educating children. It seems that some parents educate children in a more biased way. Last but not least, school is like a small society, children can take part in the society, and being a member can best illustrate the necessity of collective concept.
To sum up, I suggest that school shoulder more responsibility in educating children to be a good member in the society. In this way, children can become healthy both physically and mentally, and be willing to make contribution to the society.
