Some people think that children should be taught to be competitive in school. Others,
however, say that cooperation and team working skills are more important. Discuss both
sides.
People have different perspectives on whether schools ought to focus on teaching children to
compete or work together as a team. While some people think that competition is more important,
others consider that it is better for children to learn to cooperate with each other.
Children who learn to compete against each other often do better in school, according to some. In
other words, the competition between students motivates them to excel in their studies or tasks
which consequently produces better academic performance and results. For example, students
generally apply themselves and work harder when they are in direct competition with their
classmates. Furthermore, it is commonly believed that being driven to achieve the best is vital in
order to succeed later in life when, as adults, they must compete against others in the job market.
On the other hand, it is often thought that it is better if the emphasis at school is on cooperating
with others in a team. People do not live, work or socialise apart from others, so learning how to
work alongside others ought to be taught from childhood. Without these skills, children would lack
the ability to communicate with each other or know how to deal with confrontations and conflicts in
a constructive way. Another reason why team skills are useful for children is that they can learn how
to negotiate with others to complete a task which are useful skills to have for their future.
In conclusion, many people think that children need to become more competitive, whereas others
think that it is best for a child to focus on working together.
