Some people think that parents should teach children how to be good members of the society. Others, however, believe that the school is the best place to learn this. Discuss both views and give own opinion. Childhood is a golden opportunity to sow the seeds of moral values since children’s moral sense/compass, by and large, develops during this time. Yet, people are having a hard time reaching a consensus as to whether the responsibility of promoting these highly important values lies with parents or teachers. I would argue that both parents and teachers play a major role in nurturing children and teaching them how to be a decent member of society. Parents are the first and foremost objects of emulation for their charges. That many children unintentionally try to imitate their parents’ behaviors is an undeniable fact which stems from the first stages of grow in which children acquire skills by observing and trying to act like other people who are in their immediate surrounding. For example, communicating with others respectfully and kindly regardless of their social strata, a well-mannered parent can encourage a sense of compassion and courtesy in his offspring. Not every child has the privilege of upbringing by attentive and enlightened parents who try to foster standards of behavior, hence the importance of shouldering this burden being shouldered by the education system in order to lessen the number of unruly adults in the foreseeable future. That is to say, despite unlike parents who impart their wisdom instinctively, teachers learn how to instill moral values in young adults. After a certain age, children spend many hours in school obliged to adhere to the school laws which provide a great opportunity for the education system to play their part in teaching them ethical conduct and how to distinguish between wrong and right. In conclusion, although parents leave a long-term effect on children’s behavior unintentionally and teach them their first lessons in their life, we should not underestimate the importance of teachers’ role in young adults’ behavior.
