Band 6+: some people believe that computers and the internet are more important to a child's education than schools and teachers. however, others argue that schools and teachers play a more important role in the education of children. discuss both these views and give your own opinion

While some people argue that child’s education can be improved by using digital devices, others agree on the fact that institutions and teachers provide better education system. In my point of view, it is better for the children to be taught by teachers at schools.

On one side of the argument, there are people who take the view that the electronic devices are more beneficial in teaching. The main reason for approving this is that children can study at their own pace. This is because they can learn variety of subjects from anywhere in the world without being present there. Consequently, the learning process is independent for the kids. Another compelling view is understanding that children can improve technical skills because they have to keep in touch with computers for learning. As the digital landscape is widespread across the world, children need to have proficient digital skills such as AI and coding. These will result in providing better education system and encouraging children to apply those technical skills in life.

Although there are certain advantages of using computers and internet, I stand out on the point that child’s education can be improved with teachers and schools. Indeed, one reason why I take this view is that children can improve communication skills. They have to interact face to face with other kids in order to know each other. Moreover, they can experience peer to peer learning methods during communications. This will enhance the networking opportunities for children as this will not be provided when studying alone. Furthermore, it is my opinion that it can greatly affect on children’s social skills. The lifestyle of children is significantly dependent on the nature surrounded by them. Being with others, the children can improve practical skills such as problem-solving, critical thinking and adaptation at schools rather than lonely environment.

In conclusion, while both views are commonly held in society, I believe that schools and teachers are the roots of the education for the children. This is because it will be more beneficial if children rely on schools and teachers as it can improve their communications and social skills more than the computers. Given this situation, it is recommended that the early stages of the children education should be focused more on the outer environment instead of the computers.
