Responsiblity of institution

Propents of rigid school system have always touted that values system is always instilled by the parental system. The school neither play any part nor have any resposiblity for catharsis of the value system in a child. However, closer examination suggest that although parent play most important role in creating a value in infant but the importance of the school system cannot be neglected.


First and foremost, one must remember that value system is created by two aspects first something that is carried in genes and other which an individual learns. No one have control in former. The second factor hence become vital in creation of the values. How is this learning process takes place? The are again two factor here which effects the learning : first is the interpretation of incidence which are taking place in his ecosystem and second is deviation of this interpretations based on the innovation abiliity of a child. The conclusion is the envirnoment around the child is essential and deciding factor in development of the child's intellectual. Quite obivious the school is the main part of this envirnoment. Hence a big chunk values in child comes from the institution. Thus the resposiblity, which the school always tries to skip, comes quite naturally to play its part in instilling values.

Further, the school is the place where the child comes to the contact with the world outside. The school facilitate a emulation of virtual world which have different aspects like competition, friendship, hostility etc. How a child behave and react to such emotion is a creation of the values. School is place whare an innocent mind comes into contact with so many other peoples having different values and different way of the thinking. In this choas of the ideas the child pick of the values which he interpret pertitent for him. The responsiblity of the school is to enable a child to make such educated decisions for rest of the life. With decreasing time a parent spend with child and increasing time teachers spent with students the responsiblity is far much greater today.

But beyond the creation of virtual world and time spent , the bottom line issue is what does fundamentally education means? Is its sole purpose is limited to preach knowledge so that he can get decent job? The defination of the education includes instilling values in a child. So that he can pertinently live in the world. School have resposiblity to make aware the child changing values which is changing as the thinking process of the world is changing. If a child would have got values from the parent alone the value would have remain unchanged from the generation and it would have remained constant even the world outside is changing. Clearly this is false values are changing. Thus the conclusion is the parent are not solely responsible for the instilling values in the child. The school resposiblity is hence tantamoutous to develop the child intellect according to the changing world.
