Some people believe that lessons on becoming a good parent should be included in school curriculums. Others think that it is not essential for students.
Discuss both opinions and give your opinion.
There is no gainsaying the fact that becoming a good parent is a worthy adventure. Good parenting is a precursor for a more prosperous society and it catalyzes better children performance in all notable aspects of life.
Schools curriculum are designed to address issues of importance and there is empirical evidence that a good curriculum is a foundation for a just and egalitarian society.
Few, if any, adventure would be worth the stress of making inroad into school curriculum than lessons on becoming a good parent.
A school curriculum provides a basis for training. Most students have grown to become proficient in the subjects covered by the curriculum of teaching. If that is the case, lessons on becoming a good parent should be a key component of school curriculum.
The whole essence of students' education is to build a sense of civic responsibility. Stronger families is directly proportional to stronger societies. Thus, it is in the best interest of the society to include this subject in the curriculum.
Conversely, parental skill is a primitive reflex or character. This is evident if one observe the concept of Kangaroo Mother care-a concept widely used in the field of pediatric medicine.
KMC, as the care is fondly called, depicts the care Kangaroos employ to protect the offspring from harsh cold weather.
There is no documented evidence, theoretical or empirical, that there is a formal program of instruction for Kangaroos.
Man is a higher animal and thus is endowed with this basic instinct.
The society will live in is filled with so many pressing issues such as social inequalities, lack of universal access to healthcare, climate change, non-communicable diseases and the list is non-exhaustive.
Instead of flooding the curriculum with a rather basic human primitive instinct, these pressing issues should be prioritized in favor of it.
In areas where climate change is in the students curriculum, there is a positive correlation with better climate care and concern.
Research have demonstrated a fairly linear relationship between including this pressing issue and better societal outcome.
It is thus important, in my modest opinion, to jettison this "better parenting chit-chat' in the curriculum and focus on what is more important.

Please Evaluate and point our errors and mistakes in my parenting skills essay about teaching children.
Parents are the best teachers.
To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?
There is no doubt that parents are the best mentor in the world. They know about the characterstics of their children and can focused more on their weaker points. Some people argue that parent’s friendly attitude could play a vital role in the children learning. However, other state that they not equipped with modern way of teaching. I also believe that an atmosphere of competition and team work can only be provided by schools under the trained teachers.
Firstly, the concept of teaching dramatically changed over the period of time. Now children are taught to become smart learner than hard learner. For this teachers have been placed in the schools that are well trained. Furthermore, they are un-biased with all students. By this I mean that there is no favoritism in the class. This provides equal opportunity to learn and perform. This is hard to achieve at home, because parents can be biased.
Secondly, it is very important for children to learn how to perform in a team. This could be achieved only in class under their supervisor. Studying in their peer group will help to boost up their confidence. In addition to this, there is always an atmosphere of competition while learning in a group. This will enable them to work intelligently and with more paces.
However, parents friendly and relaxing attitude is a key to children learn by their heart, they can ask questions more freely and can have answers in a friendly conversation.
Finally, I believe that children learn both from their parents and teachers. But in modern world teachers are supposed to be the best option for them in learning.
