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

Some say that music, art and drama are as important as other school 
subjects, especially at the primary level. Do you agree or disagree?
Some people believe that arts education is as significant as the study of 
other subjects, especially for primary students. I completely agree with 
this viewpoint because some educational content could be better 
illustrated in the forms of arts, and the study of arts is one key 
consideration which fosters all-rounded growth of young students. 
The arts could deliver information to students, especially to those 
attending primary schools, in a way that words in textbooks sometimes 
cannot. Children may become bored and tired if they have to read or listen 
to too much educational content in textbooks. A colorful painting or a 
catchy song, on the other hand, can be much more appealing and thus 
more effective in conveying information to these children. For example, the 
Ghen Covy song has been taught at most schools in Vietnam and has 
become one of children’s favorite songs. This song has effectively 
highlighted the importance of hand washing as a means of disease 
prevention, and has made it easier for many children to remember every 
step of hand sanitization for its catchy melody and appealing dancing 
moves.

Furthermore, the study of arts is one factor that contributes to a 
comprehensive development of young students. While academic subjects 
focus on children’s cognitive development, arts education help children to 
develop their social-emotional skills. By singing a song or drawing a 
picture, these children are likely to express their feelings and nurture their 
sense of community. For example, thousands of Vietnamese children, who 
were encouraged by their teaching staff, drew pictures of sunflowers to 
deliver messages of love and support for pediatric cancer patients. 
In conclusion, the arts can sometimes be better at transmitting knowledge 
than textbooks, and the provision of both academic and arts education is 
necessary for an all-rounded growth of young students. I firmly believe 
that the study of arts should never be underestimated in any child 
educational institution.
