Many children these days have an unhealthy lifestyle. Both schools and parents are responsible for solving this problem.
To what extent do you agree with this statement?
Living in a world covered by technology, has widely changed human’s life. Nowadays, people, either young or old, prefer to do things in their easier way, they use lifts rather than taking stairs, they drive to work, they prefer to eat fast foods, even children like to play computer games, not the old, active, happy games. This change has issued lots of challenges to parents and schools to find a way to change these unhealthy patterns. But the question is “Who is responsible for these unhealthy habits?”
Many people believe children are just doing things they see or they have been told to do at home. These days parents are busy working most of their time hence they don not have much time to spend with their kids, taking them to a park or playing active games. Many parents rather a nice, quiet and polite kid than a naughty one so they easily accustom their kids to computer games and smart phones. Also living in apartments with limited areas has affected children’s lifestyle.
Children spend most of their day at school, near their friends and teachers. Some people believe new teaching techniques using new gadgets in schools can have a bad effect on children. They believe using these technologies make children become used to technology for doing every single thing in their lives. Also their reading and writing abilities can be abated by these new methods.
Technology and facing its abysmal affects have always been a challenging subject. Nowadays children are born in a word full of different gadgets and the point is to teach them how to handle its disadvantages and take the most out of it.
