Some people think it would be a good idea for schools to teach every young person how to be a good parent.

• Do you agree or disagree with this opinion?
• Describe the skills a person needs to be a good parent.

There may be differing views on what schools should teach the young, and the one view in question that schools should teach the young how to be a good parent sounds rather too much to be accommodated. Let me prove it.

We all know that school is a platform for the young to groom themselves into what they actually are and what they are capable of. Making children learn how to be good parents is just one of the roles of schools. This role can be facilitated by incorporating a few lessons in the curriculum. On the other hand, expecting schools to be places that make every young how to be a good parent sounds premature to me because school has enormous other roles that help a student lead a meaningful life. Being a good parent is just of the parts of a meaningful life.

My disagreement is on a question: are students prepared and matured to pick up the lessons on how to be a good parent when they are at school? Besides this, I do not think that a young person with right knowledge on how to be a good parent will be able to lead a meaningful life; rather I sternly believe that the purpose of schooling is to make one lead a meaningful, productive and civilized life. Lessons on how to be a good parent can be taught by parents themselves, if need be, or schools can contribute to it by way of curriculum amends.

Looking at the view in question, I tend to conclude that it is premature to make every young learn to become a good parent. Rather schools have got many other roles than this. However, it is fair that children learn a few things on parenting.
