In contemporary times, many believe it is necessary to teach youngsters about the significance of recycling. A sizable lobby feels it must be taught by parents. However, many think it should be taught in schools.  

To embark upon the discussion, parents are the role models of their wards  and the latter tend to follow their footsteps without questioning; anything the parents do is grasped immediately. Additionally, the skill cannot be developed by reading books; rather it is better learnt in a practical environment where mothers and fathers provide realistic examples to their children. Hence, many feel it is the duty of families to teach their young ones about the importance of this process. 

On the flip side, others feel that schools should be responsible to impart such knowledge. Educational institutions have adequate facilities to create an environment to provide children with any kind of skills. They can create curriculum and schedule separate periods for such activities; faculties can be assigned to teach the young ones about such a process. Moreover,formal tuition is vested with the obligation of polishing the personalities of the young individuals; in the near future, recycling is likely to become an essential part of the personalities of the rational adults and thus, it should be fostered during formative years. Moreover, young minds have the tendency to learn better in a formal environment, along with their peers where they can also grab the content clearly which is retained life long.  

In the end, I feel even though parents play an important role in educating their wards about the importance of reprocessing, formal institutions are the proper place to provide their students with such expertise; they have the expertise and resources to see this task through.
