Recently, it’s a hotly debated issue which should be responsible for teaching children to be a good sociable member. I tend to agree that in terms of sociability students can be positively affected by education from school.

This is partly because the school serves as a smaller version of society where students can meet a variety of people from different backgrounds. This experience will make children not only learn how to cooperate with others but also have a spirit of teamwork which is necessary and sufficient for a child in the social life.

Nevertheless, the main reason is that the school has a set of standard and scientific training program. Forcing students to follow those rules and regulations make students from good learning habits.

This is beneficial for them all their lives. Besides, the school provides students a good learning environment that promotes their study. Accordingly, with competent academic knowledge they are able to tell right from wrong and be mature in making a decision.

In spite of this, the significance of education from parents can not be denied. Parents are their children’s first instructors in life from whom children gain various life skills, such as table manners and polite to others. Even so, all of them require children to communicate with others in a large environment to get practice. So, family education also requires a social environment like schools and communities.

With all the points considered, I hold the view that the school has more responsibility. Furthermore, the main point is to make sure that children live in the area of social life and live in a virtual world.
