Parent Are Responsible to Teach Children to Be Good Members of Society

Some people think that parents should teach children how to be good members of society. Others. However, believe that school is the place to learn this.

A child’s education has never been about learning information and basic skills only. It has always included teaching the next generation how to be good members of society. Therefore, this cannot be the responsibility of the parents alone.
In order to be good member of any society the individual must respect and obey the rules of their community and share their values. Educating children to understand the need to obey rules and respect other always begins in the home and is widely thought to be the responsibility of parents. They certainly will be the first to help children learn what is important in life, how they are expected to behave and what role they will play in their world.
However, learning to understand to share the value system of a whole society cannot be achieved just in the home. Once a child goes to school, they are entering to a wider community where teachers and peers will have just as much influence as their parents do at home. At school, children will experience working and living with people from a whole variety of background from the wider society. This experience should teach them how to co-operate with each other and how to contribute to the life of their community.
But to be a valuable member of any community is not like learning a simple skill. It is something that individual goes on learning throughout life and it is the responsibility of every member of a society to take responsibility for helping the younger generation to become active and able members of that society.
