Some people think that parents should teach children how to be good member of society.

Others, however, believe that school is the place to learn this.

Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

Children`s social education plays an important role in education in general and affects child`s future life.

There are two common opinions about who are responsible for social education: parents or schools and both of them have a place to be.

On the one hand, social education begins from child`s birth.

Parents teach toddlers to communicate with adults and other children, to accept and respect other members of family, to share their toys or sweets with them.

Children study general communication skills without school with their families.

At the age of 2 or 3, when they enter the kinder garden children start socializing with other kids and study some simple rules of community.

However, it doesn`t mean that the parents` education is over.

At that age, parents help kids to make friends and avoid social conflicts; furthermore parents teach them how to protect themselves from the bad influence of other kids and remain a good child despite of social impact.

On the other hand, when children go to school, parents` impact on them slightly reduces, because children spend much more time at school than at home.

Teachers explain children some new rules of behavior at school which can differ from home rules.

Additionally, teachers highlight bad and good behavior of kids, compare them with each other.

This stimulates children to be better than others and behave as well as possible.

However, there are a lot of children in one group and in practice teachers devote more time to disobedient kids.

In conclusion, I think that parents play the most crucial role in social education of children while school education should be responsible for their academic success.

Parents are absolutely responsible for their children`s future and only them can develop positive conduct of children in society.
