The education you receive from your family is more important than the education you receive from the school. To what extent do you agree with this statement and why?

A person learns from multiple sources: family and school being the main two. However, it is sometimes said that the teachings one gets from family are more important than one receives in school. I agree with the thought that family has a more significant impact than school. The upcoming paragraphs will explain my point of view regarding this matter.

The early years of a person’s life are the most tender and impressionable. It is when the very basis of a person’s existence is framed. A child spends this time with close family members.
Not just this, a person learns traditions, values, and relationship management from people in the closest proximity. These people are parents, siblings, grandparents, and first cousins. Values and ways of living life passed on from these people are naturally imbibed in a person and most significantly define a person’s personality. So it is not wrong to say that an individual learns the most from family members.
School too plays a significant role as first a child spends a lot of time during young age at a school and secondly because a child gets formal education there. These contribute immensely to a person’s learning, but in most cases, no other source supersedes what a person retains at home from kins.

Finally, school indeed imparts formal education; however, the values, wisdom, and knowledge one gains from family members have the most profound influence on a person, for it decides the course of the future one lives.
