Throughout human history, education has always been at the center of numerous controversies, due to its profound and long-term effects on social development. Recently how to educate our childern has become so debated that the policy makers concerned with education have falled into several camps. Some believe that child should be educated mainly by formal education system rather than by cooperation with parents and communities; others assert that education is vitally important to our society, thus both parents and communities should be involved in educational system for the sakes of children's accompishment. I stongly agree with the latter, since our childern need not only academic ability to success in their professional arenas, but also interpersonal skills which can be improved by participation of parents and communities.

 

First and foremost, parents and communities can provide more contributive environment for childern to promote their emotional compenencies. Traditionally our society had placed too much emphasis on the significance of cognitive ability such as reasoning, critical thinking, and memory. Emotional intelligence had not been attached much importance to education until Denil Goleman published his first widely accepted book "emotional intelligence." With a national wide debate over how to educate our children, sociogolists and critics began to emphasize the need to involve parents and communities into educational system, because they can influence children's metal and emotion more profoundly and effectively. After all, with the exception of eight hours in schools, most children spend other their time on staying with parents or other community members. More over, during growing, children are more likely to imitate their parents' behaviors and following their viewpoints, and interaction between children and parents make childern more easily be influenced by family and communities. Therefore, parents and communities should undertake responsibilities to exemplify a moral and spirital heathy human being.

 

 

Additionally, parents and communities, along with formal schooling, can largley promote students' capability of handling emotional problem and ability to achieve accomplishment more effectively. As we know, those who have heathy self esteem, more confident and happier, are better learner. Unfortunately, in modern society, many children and young adults feel themselves hopeless, unimportant, and have low self esteem. Part of this problem arises from separation of formal schooling with parents and communities with respect to students' education. When a student, for example, suffers frustration in school, he or she need some help and empathy from parents or other family members. If parents neglect his despression, the child maybe become self depravation since he thinks of himself nothing.

 

In summary, our society should combine formal schooling with parents and communities in order to more effectively improve our children's various ability including cognitive and emotional compencities. If we continue to overlook this, our childern will lose their direction in most conducive educational approaches.

Please give comments on my essay,:)

 

Education involves teaching in different aspects of a children. Education cannot solely be left to educators. Children's closed group, such as parents and related communities, have responsibilities to teach children. School, however, is not replaceable by any other groups; school has to teach children knowledge and social skills which are hard to be taught by others. Therefore, parents and schools should bestow education to children together.

 

Parents and some related communities have direct impact on children. Children learn from their environment and people who have communication with them. Parents and some societies, such as clubs, associations, will affect children's growth. I have a high school classmate who swore a lot, and a teacher asked him the reason of his profanity; he told the teacher that all he cursed learnt from his family members, and all his family members cursed a lot. On the other hand, we learnt swimming, kung fu, singing, etc. from communities. These communities usually introduces good discripline, such as cooperations and concerns with others, to children during their courses. As Parents and communities have great influence on children, they have the responsibilities to educate children.

 

Nevertheless, Schools teach children in many aspects that is difficult to be taught by other groups. Schools teach children knowledge for children persuing a good scholar; schools have a lot of experienced and trained educators to assist children; most parents are not better than those educators in introducing these knowledge. As school is a imitated environment for children to adapt the society, schools teach children social skills and cooperations with others. Students learn how to be independent, and solve problems without parents' help in schools. These skills is difficult to be taught by parents or other groups, if not impossible.

 

Education is teaching children how to be good in most aspects. It involves not only schools, but also parents and communities. Children learnt from all environment embeded him. Education cannot be left solely to schools, nor left solely to parents. Good parents and communites examplfies children good discripline. Good schools teach students sophisticated knowledge and social skills. With the assistance of all related groups and schools as whole, children can learn how to be a good human being.

 

In sum, parents and communities' roles on children's education are giving children examplaries and guildlines to good discriplines and knowledge which may not be taught in schools. Schools teach students idea based on book and provide good educators to help students to become a good scholar; schools also teach children social skills and independence. We cannot leave education to either schools or parents; all of them should work together to give good educaion to children.

154 Both parents and communities must be involved in the local schools. Education is too important to leave solely to a group of professional educators.

==============================================

 

Above issue suggest that education can not leave solely to professional educators in the local schools and that both parents and communities must be involved in. I agree with the opinion.

 

It will be convenient to define and categorize the concepts of education and educator above all. Education is the procedure teaching students knowledge, skills and standards. which include intellectual education, moral education and physical education. Each kind of education can be provided by various educators: such as parents, communities, teachers ( who are professional educators) and even the whole society. Let's discuss them below one by one.

 

Intellectual education must be mainly achieved by schools. Children learn mathematics, language, physics, philosophy, history, logic ,art and all other subjects at schools. Admittedly, if somebody has a father who is familiar with these subjects, for example, a famous writer father, he will possibly be more interesting in literature, but for most people, schools are the most important role in intellectual education. Moreover, parents and communities are helpful in this area. For example, some famous writers are not the only one who has brilliant literary ability in their families. Their parents, brothers or sisters are also famous writers who greatly influence their career choices.

 

Secondly, in the area of physical education, schools, communities and parents are all very important. In a family parents like physical exercise, their children usually also have this habit. Meanwhile,many famous athlete, such as Jordan get their skills mainly in communities such as club, partners, and NBA. In schools, we can learn fundamental physical training and, more important, get know with some partners enjoying same sports or games.

 

As for moral education, it is impossible and useless to determine who is the key education role. Parents, friends, neighbors ,teachers and celebrities can influence children's mental world. But more important, people's standards are formed not only by those educators but also mainly by themselves. Whether can be mental heathy persons largely decided by people themselves. For example, a selfish father ,a selfish neighbor, a selfish friend or even a selfish teacher can not mean the student will be selfish.

 

Education is not only the business of local schools. Both parents and communities should take part in children's education. Communication and cooperation are necessary for these educators to create a harmony environment. Parents should care about children's situation in schools and communities .Professional educators and communities are also necessary to keep in touch with children's parents in order to get better effect. For example, a student, whose idol is Jordan, likes basket ball very much and spends most time on the game in communities; meanwhile, his father wants him to be a engineer and bought expensive computer and plenty of softwares for him, and the boy only wants to play computer games about basket ball; At last, the student's teacher, notice his grade drops very fast, but has no way to change the situation...This example are fitful to tell us communication and cooperation between all of the educator and the student himself are very important.

 

In on word, parents, schools, and communities have their own responsibilities on education and as a whole the society can provide children with a favorable education environment.
