112 Some people think that children should begin their formal education at a very early age and should spend most of their time on school studies. Others believe that young children should spend most of their time playing. Compare these two views. Which view do you agree with? Why?

Nowadays
some parents propose that, to better prepare their children to cope with the
fierce competition in later years, the school life should start as early as
possible and should occupy most of the children’s time. On the other hand, some
educators advocate that children at early age should not be deprived of the
joys and opportunities to pay. Personally, I side with the points of the
educators and my preferences of play over study at a child’s early stage are outlined
as below.

The first
plain truth is that play, in itself when properly designed and guided by the
adults, offers a superior means of study for a child of three or four years
old. The child easily gets distracted and frustrated when restricted long in
the classroom and eventually the school education will prove to be either inefficient
or ineffective. Let’s imagine we prison the kids in the school yard, and teach
them what the smell of the rose is, what the sound made by a bird is like and
what cause the snow. Isn’t it better to give the child an opportunity to
discover the nature for himself? The child can enjoy the pleasant smell of a
rose and the beautiful sound of a bird in an excursion with the parents. The
child can wittiness with his own eyes what the snow fall is like in the wild. In
this way, the creativity and the potential of the child will be fully explored
and the knowledge acquired will be remembered by the kids happily and for a
long time.  

Equally
important is the fact that playing helps, to some degree, build up the
character and personality of a child. The child can understand the importance
of team work from playing games requiring group cooperation, admit that he has
to grow with failures occasionally since some games end up with leaders and
losers and know that persistence is critical to succeed. Just to name the
merits of playing for yourself. Actually, some educators and teachers notice
the importance of the game playing and are now working to design some more beneficial
games for the kids. 

In
addition, the happy moments spent playing as a child will deeply print the
sweet memories in mind. Even in my twenties, I often resort to the happy
moments when I spent with my grandma and my friends at four years old in a
peaceful and beautiful countryside. Grandma often held my little hands and told
me how to differentiate the crops and how to feed the chickens. I often hid so
well that I seldom lost the hide-and-find game with my friends. Now grandma
passed away and the friends grew up and departed. But the memory of the playing
around will be remembered by me forever, and I know that.

 

In
conclusion, the importance of study should not be neglected, but it by no means
it could comprise the reason to deprive the children of the opportunities to grow
happily and healthily from playing.
