18- Some parents believe that students must work hard at school and
spend their free time learning their school lessons, while others believe
that students need to spend their free time playing and developing other
skills.
With which opinion do you agree? Use specific reasons to support your
opinion.
Today education has become a priority for many parents seeking to secure a
good future for their children in this rapidly changing world. Most parents believe
that if their children work hard at school, then they will increase their
opportunities for going to higher education and eventually getting a good job. Of
course they are right. However, they must know that there are other things to
learn except the academic skills at schools.
The parents, who do not allow their children sufficient free time for leisure
activities outside school hours, are misguided. Such activities are far from being
a waste of time for the children for the simple reason that they are not academic.
It is important to remember that children need to develop skills other than
intellectual ones, and the best way to do this is through activities such as sports,
games and playing with other kids.
Moreover children must develop their imagination; make-believe games can
help children to inspire their imagination. Besides, they must learn physical
coordination through the games they play with their peers. They must taste
victory and failure, how can they learn important social lessons about winning
and losing if they do not practice any sports? Many children form strong,
personal relationships with their friends they play with, and without the
opportunity to do this, they could grow up emotionally immature and unformed.
However, In the world today, students need to be educated in order to survive in
this world; they must be skilled and knowledgeable; therefore, allowing children
to ignore these fundamental needs and waste their time will not help them, so as
access to the best education and best jobs is becoming more competitive, then
it is true that children have to make the best of their study time when they are
young.
Finally I think it is important to remember that children need to relax as well as
work. If everything they do must have educational or academic relevance, then
they will soon get tired of studying altogether, which is the last thing parents
would want.
