Sense of competition and cooperation in children`s education. Task 2. Some people think that a sense of competition in children should be encouraged. Others believe that children who are taught to co-operate rather than compete become more useful adults. There are a lot of approaches to children`s education. And, of course, every approach has it`s own advantages and disadvantages, this is the reason why it is so difficult to find a right way and to follow it. But we understand that children should be educated in different fields and have as much useful skills and knowledge as possible. This is why we have to decide what is the best set of skills for children to succeed in the future. In my opinion the modern world is too complex and it makes people unite and work together for better results. So, I think that children, first of all, should be taught to co-operate and work together. Today is the era of big companies with a hge amount of employees and people have to work together. Most of tasks given at work demand finding quite difficult solutions and team work. If children are not taught how to communicate in small teams and how to listen to each other they will not be able to work and become useful for their company. Moreover co-operative work teaches us and shows how to build relationships in a family or with friends, in this way it is a priceless ability which effects on the quality of private life. On the other hand sense of competition helps children show their leader skills which are very important too. I believe that top managers or business owners must have such skills and the sense of competition develops it well. In my opinion the best way to develop such skills in childhood is to do some sports, especially team games like football. But i still keep follow my opinion as most of us are not leaders, it is hard not to agree that not every one is ready to become a CEO of a big corporation thus for the most of children developing of their cooperative skills are in priority. To conclude I would say that children have to be well educated and have difficult skills which can help them but reality demands to work together and co-operate with different people to solve problems.
