Education

Topic: Who should be responsible for children’s education, the school or the parents? Give your opinion and tell the reasons.

On such a controversial issue, people seldom reach an absolute consensus. Yet I am one of many people who feel that parents should be responsible for their children’s education. My arguments for this point are listed as follow.

The main reason is that family is the first and nearest surrounding in which we grow up. Family does play a vital role in shaping children’s personality. As the proverb goes: “Parents are the first teacher of the children”. For instance, children who have ever suffered from corporal punishment tend to be violent when they grow up. However, children maybe get good scores if their parents can encourage their children for studying

There is another factor that deserves some words here. Rich family can support more educational material for their children. Take an example, rich parents send their children to study abroad, whereas poor parents ask their children to work for living. Therefore, rich family own more chances to enter the university.

What is interesting is that a teacher has to take care of whole students in the classroom. The education from school is not suitable for every student. Let me provide an example. Some students can be quiet in the class, whereas others are not. Some students learn in English and get reading score is better than oral score. Parents have few children in their family and they have can spend lots of time to find what is suitable education method for their children.

On the other hand, it cannot be denied that schools have systematical education method.

To sum up, although school and parents are both significant factor for children’s education, parents should take more responsible than school for children’s education.
