Children : Should learn how to compete or how to cooperate ?

Learning two opposite skill for children; competing or cooperating, are highly debatable. Especially for student or children growing time. Some people say that it is better for children to learn how to compete, but some other prefer to teach their children to cooperate in order to become productive citizens in future society. In my opinion, both competition and cooperation are equally important for children. I write down several reasons to strengthen my opinion above.

Knowing competition starting from the early young age is very essential for people's life. Children learn how to be tough when preparing for the examinations or when playing single sport like a marathon athlete. In the class, children have to fight to get good or excellent point among their children trough study hard by them selve. Besides that, they must do their best to win the sport competition that they follow. This character slowly will effect to the children's growing time until they get adult. For example, the adult children get any business in their future time. they must compete with other businessman to be more successful than others.

On the other hand, I knew children also need to be taught a cooperative value. Teacher can give this value to the children trough group assignment in studies. It will train children to develop as well as improve their skill in sharing job, sharing thinking, or learning how to hear others opinion. Of course, in the adult time, children will need this skill as a habit when they are working in a team.

To sum up, I pen down saying that it is clear that children should learn how to compete as well as cooperate in order to sharpen their skill to become more productive in their society for the future time.
