It is argued by some individuals that schools should teach young ones the art of good parenting. Although doing this may instill some moral values in children, I strongly believe that homes are better placed to equip young ones with the basic household, emotional and cultural skills required to become better future guardians.
One the one hand, helping students to develop a few moral and personal virtues while also acquiring formal education could potentially help them to become good parents. This approach produces students who are worthy in both character and learning. The characters such as patience, critical thinking, and the ability to cope under pressure, are vital to the successful running of a home. For instance, a student with an outstanding ability to finish schools tasks to meet up with deadlines could potentially learn to handle the future pressure of being a parent.
On the other hand, families are likely to provide a more extensive training as regards to good parenthood. Basic household skills like keeping the home tidy, dishwashing, and caring for a new born baby are more naturally demonstrated at home than in schools. In addition, the cultural heritage that is perculiar to individual tribes such as music, dialects, traditional outfits and so on, may only be adequately passed down by generations of individuals who have roots in them, rather than the ones taught in conventional schools. For example, the mother tongue is more effectively learnt from parents. Lastly, emotional intelligence may be taught in school, but a deep sense of family ties that is vital to keeping a family together can only be shown at home.
Therefore, I believe that households are more instrumental in training young ones how to become better parents because of the cultural and homely skills they offer. However, schools may help to compliment the training in order to produce an all-round individual.
