Please review my essay! Thanks in advance

Some people who have been in prison become good citizens later. Some people think that having these people to give a talk to school students is the best way to tell them about dangers of committing a crime. Do you agree or disagree?

It is of paramount importance that human, especially children, be well educated about crime and its adversities. Many people suggest that schools should invite some ex-criminals to give a speech to the students. In my opinion, while I concur that it is a good idea, I also think there are better education methods other than that.

On the one hand, a crime-related talk given by an ex-prisoner may do students good. Teenagers, nowadays are more inclined to accept advice from people who can speak from their experience. A rehabilitated prisoner can provide insight into how they committed crime and the negative impacts of the criminal lifestyles in the most persuasive and vivid way. In addition, the fact that they were once a criminal might attract the student's attention, thus ensure the activity's efficiency.

On the other hand, I believe that a combination of different methods would yield more desirable results. Education is a long process that needs time as well as consistency, and crime acknowledgement is no exception. Therefore, parents and teachers must also engage in the educating process. For example, parents, who are the most intimate with children, should enlighten them at an early age about some simple social activities that are considered wrong. Furthermore, if they commit a petty crime such as stealing other child's stuff, parents should explain their wrongdoing and impose a proper punishment. At schools, teachers can integrate several morals about crime prevention with the daily lessons to raise the awareness of students.

In conclusion, it is my contention that schools should cooperate with the teaching staff and families to create a positive learning environment for children, which can be promoted by organizing some talks about crime oriented by a released prisoner.
