IELTS Writing Task 2 - Good Behavior (Agree or Disagree Question)

Updated: Nov 28, 2023


It is the responsibility of schools to teach good behavior in addition to providing formal education.


To what extent do you agree or disagree? (15/04/2023)


SAMPLE ESSAY:


Nowadays, it is often argued that schools are obliged to shape students into decent members of society by teaching them moral values besides traditional academic subjects. Personally, I totally agree with this viewpoint and will present my opinion in the following essay.


On the one hand, there are several reasons why many people believe that the responsibility for delivering moral lessons to children does not belong to schools. Firstly, some of these educational institutions are often faced with limited resources such as time and budget constraints . This, in turn, can hinder schools from allocating sufficient resources to teaching children about good demeanor , especially when formal education already demands significant attention from teachers. Secondly, because of the large number of students at the same time in a class, many instructors have great difficulty in comprehending each child’s character to effectively tailor moral lessons for them . Such a kind of education would be better conducted by parents instead, who are certainly closer to their children and have essential personal experience in raising them.


On the other hand, I firmly hold that schools should play a pivotal role in helping children become well-behaved individuals. Since children spend a considerable portion of their waking hours in classes, it provides an ideal opportunity for schools to teach and reinforce good manners consistently. In other words, the extended influence of schools ensures that students could receive regular reminders, practice, and feedback on their behavior, leading to greater consistency in their overall development. Apart from that, by educating children about proper conduct , schools can actively address and prevent bullying which is prevalent in numerous educational environments around the world. More specifically, the promotion of such virtues as kindness, empathy, and respect among pupils can help create a culture of acceptance and inclusion, thus reducing cases of bullying and its serious repercussions .


In summary, for the reasons mentioned above, it is my firm conviction that schools ought to take responsibility for educating students about moral standards.
