Some people think that parents should teach their children how to be good members of society. Others, however, believe that school is the best place to learn this. Discuss both views and give your own opinion

It is generally believed that some people are born with certain talents, 
for instance for sport or music, and others are not. However, it is 
sometimes claimed that any child can be taught to become a good 
sports person or musician. Discuss both these views and give your own 
opinion.
Some would argue that certain fields, such as sport or music are meant 
only for naturally talented children, while others believe that it is 
something which can be learned by anyone. While kids with the aptitude 
for certain skills are given a head start in life, this essay argues that such 
skill sets can be mastered by working hard. 
On the one hand, children who are gifted with a particular inborn talent 
often achieve their goal early in their lives. This is because when someone 
is very good at what they are doing, it usually does not take much effort 
for them to strive for excellence in that specific area. For instance, there 
are many talented singers who have already established a successful 
singing career before they even become teenagers. However, I believe 
that talent alone does not guarantee success in the long-run, and that a 
person can only reach the highest level in their profession if they combine 
their innate ability with hard work. 
On the other hand, many people think that anything is achievable in this 
life through practice and training. That is to say that it may take extra time 
and energy for an individual with average potential to harness a skill, but 
success is possible as long as one has the will, determination and the 
passion to work for it. For example, the world is filled with many star 
athletes who start off as a mediocre in the beginning, but they challenge 
and push themselves to their limit, which ultimately help them to attain 
the greatest version of themselves. I believe this view point is more 
practical because majority of the people are born average, and hard work 
beats talent in many cases.

In conclusion, although it is easier for children with extraordinary ability to 
accomplish their dreams at the beginning of their lives, this essay finds 
that hard skills, even though time taking to master, can be earned by 
coaching and experience.
