Some people believe that it is more important to teach children the literature and history of their own
country, rather than the literature and history of other countries. To what extent do you agree or
disagree?

People have different viewing about the teaching of national versus global literate and history in schools.
Personally, I support the idea that children should study first and foremost the great books and historical
events of their own countries.

There are several reasons why I believe that schools should focus on teaching national literature and
historical. Firstly, children enjoy learning about where they live, and by studying the ideas, culture and
history of their own countries they begin to develop a sense of identify. At the same time, this approach is
appealing to parents, who studied the same books and historical events and can therefore help their children
with school work. English children, for example, read Shakespeare and learn about the Battle of Hastings
just as their parents did, and there is educational continuity across the generations. Finally, an emphasize on
national literature and history gives educators a narrower teaching scope, making curriculum design an
easier task.

By contrast, the study of global events and foreign novels could cause unnecessary difficulty and confusion
for school pupils. For example, I do not see the point in presenting Russian or Chinese history to a Britain
child who has not yet studied the history of his or her own country in detail. Surely the child would be more
able to comprehend historical events that took place in London than those that happened in Moscow or
Beijing. Similarly, any exposed to international literature is likely to require the teaching of a foreign
language or the use of translations. Young people at primary or secondary school age are simply not ready
for such complicated.

In conclusion, I would argue that it is undesirable for schools to cover aspects of foreign history and
literature; they should ground their pupils in the local culture instead.
