Teaching children - help me please

Some people think that a sense of competition in children should be encouraged. Others believe that children who are taught to co-operate rather than compete become more useful adults.

Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

Education is always indispensable in bringing up our children. The way we teach them is like the way we write to the white paper by pen, if we write something wrong, that paper cannot be erased. Therefore, we must be careful in choosing the educational method. Competition and co-operating is one of the methods which most arguable.

Firstly, if children should be encouraged, children may think that everything is like a game. In the game, kids will be taught self-mastery for gaining the best results. Thus, independence is developed and our child might be not lazy. But the game has winner and loser and no one wants to be a loser. Therefore children will be selfish and not care about helping another people. It is not good to teach children in this way because they are always under pressure and will do everything to get the number one standing.

In opposite, co-operate have some more good points than competition. Children will be learnt helping another people. In the environmental team work, children may notice their weak points to decrease and another one’s strong points to learn. Sharing is encouraged, children will not be selfish but co-operate also may leads to rely on others. In a group, if we care about the result of the group, we do not know who weak children to focus on them are.

In conclusion, I think co-operate is better than competition. If children is encouraged competing, they will know how to beat another one but be ruled out by community. Children may be lazy in co-operate but we can prevent this.
