There are two contradictory views on whom (on who should be responsible to teach children about values …) being responsible on teaching children on values and norms of a society in order to make them respect the community they live in and be good assets.
These views are as follows, while some people believe parents are solely responsible on teaching their children and shaping them in the direction they want, there are people who strongly believe that school is rather the place than home where children learn about their society. Both have their own justification from different perspectives. The first being, since parents are the first people whom children encounter during the earliest ages of their lives and also have the most contact with, it is understandable to have strong opinion on parents being the one responsible in shaping their children. However, school is the place when where they will have the freedom of choosing the good from the bad with out close assistance of a family member and have the opportunity to interact with different types of people.
Growing up in a family with single mom, most of the personalities I developed as an adult resemble that of my mother’s. However, I am also a product of the different teachers I encountered, the classmates I grew up with and many more.
Being from where I am, I had my share of understanding and knowledge of the impact both parents and school have on children.
In conclusion, I strongly believe that both parents and school are responsible on nurturing children to become better adults and an asset to a society.
