I think both point of views are important and should pay attention to them. The first opinion which is teaching the obligations in schools is fundamental and could play an important role to have a better society by talking around discipline and rules. I see schools as an environment which teach us every essential subject and why not to discuss and learn obedience from base grades at schools. On the other hand, the second opinion which is teaching children make informed decisions is a great idea, either. Although, in my opinion, it is not just discrete to this subject. It is essential to criticized other ideas and think of every subject with critical view. This may induce to think better and then act and may result into better decisions. To show the importance of both views, I bring an example of myself. Learning from school teach me a lot and I gain much information from all years, not just lessons like physics, and math but also lessons about life, making friends, respect law and many other ones. These lessons make us prepare for some conditions in life. In my believe many more conditions occur which we have not prepared for. In these cases we should refer to our own belief and discover the best response and it is not possible without learning how to make decisions on our own and also critical other decisions to inform better decisions in the society. Finally, I believe schools have a significant role in every stage of learning.
