Introduction

The role of schools in educating children is very high. The school is the second most paramount institution of social importance, after family, and the interaction of the efforts of parents and teachers depend on how effectively the process of upbringing and education of children. It is difficult to imagine the full development of the child in the absence of family or school. It is important that teachers and parents have become allies in education and learning process. This is necessary to form a complete, knowledgeable, highly moral, resourceful and socially sensible person. Each year, the role of schools in educating children is becoming higher and higher (Jordanova, 1989, 36).

In any case, the child can gain any behaviour that may contribute to the development of a certain character traits, both positive and negative. A special place in the formation and development of the child's personality provides to the class teacher, who, in addition to school material should, conduct interviews with children on various topics: spiritual, moral, fitness, civic and patriotic, environmental, and so on.

This paper examines the similar role of the schools in the development of children. It also addresses the argument if the gradually childhood disappears and how the education institutions can cope with this phenomenon.
