Some people think it would be a good
idea of schools to teach every young person how to be a good parent. To what
extent do agree or disagree?
Since ages, parenting has been a trivial subject for many.
Several experts think that it would worthwhile if young ones could be coached
about the art of parenting even though there are others who think quite
differently.
While attending formal tuitions, young learners are at an
age when they are inquisitive and zestful, and whatever skills about parenting are
imparted, as a part of formal tuitions, can guarantee building up a strong
foundation for a well informed adult life, of which parenting is a part. Moreover, training about parenting could
come in handy at a time when moms and dads cannot devote time for fostering
basic skills in their wards. The skills of managing kids are generally grasped
by kids by observing their parents, which is not possible these days. The coaching
about parenting, about being a good parent, at schools could fill up this gap.
However, the schools are already overburdened with the
responsibility of training students in domains that are of paramount importance
for the kids. Including such non challenging subjects would actually lead to
degradation of quality of syllabus being imparted. This would eventually
transform the whole concept of schooling have around unwarranted consequences
Besides this, learning about the skills or being a good
parent can wait for later time since minds of children are tender and not
adapted to learning about intricacies of a realm as complex as parenting. Even
though parenting needs fathers and mothers to follow certain practices, this
art cannot be taught. This skill generally involves learning by forging and
managing intimate relationships. In other
words, rearing kids is principally learnt, by people involved, from practical
experiences.
In the nutshell, I personally feel that parenting is surely
not a subject to be included in the syllabus of academics.
