Introduction
The school is that place where one spends a considerable amount of their life. It plays
one of the most vital roles in the procedure of the socialisation and accompanies individual
right from their childhood until the adult years (Owu-Ewie 2017). The impact of schooling in
the lives and for the development of the growth of the children is manifold. It provides a
structured academic procedure promoting and shaping the mental and the psychological
growth of the children (James 2012). A child learns and develops some of the essential skills
of their life including good manners, sharing, teamwork, responsibility and unity apart from
all the academic learning in the school. No doubt, school is the most integral part of human
life shaping the children towards the growth of their development skills for residing in the
society. The thesis statement of the essay argues with the effects of the schooling on the lives
of the children illustrating a critical analysis of the contribution of the school, the teachers
and the educators of the school together with the parental involvement towards improving the
environment in the school for a clear and a better development of the children (Taylor et al
2017). The essay furthermore argues the review from the literature of various researchers
regarding the impact of the health and the social environment of the children and the positive
effects of schools on the lives of the children for their upcoming live together with the social
policies that are related to schooling. With the analysis of a positivism interpretivist
approach, the paper reflects the qualitative assessments of the children aiming to identify the
effects and the outcomes of the involvements of the student and the contribution of the
student in the school and vice versa.

In the above research paper, these two variables possess as independent and the
dependent variable. The paper examines the effects and the influence of the schooling on the
lives of the children together with the power from the environment of the education.
The effects of the schooling
School is a key for improvement in health and social environment for the children. It
is like oxygen for the future of the children for making it better and pure (Corsaro 2011). The
researches on the effects of the schooling have gone through some of the distinct critical
perspectives conceptualising the positive factors that impact the children.
As per the research study by De Greeff et al. (2016), the authors of the research paper
argues with the fact how the integrating physical activities from the schooling has benefits
regarding potential health and cognitive benefits of the children belonging to the primary
school. The study highlighted the impact of the powerful lessons of the academics towards
the cardiovascular fitness and the executive functions with the help of some of the multilevel
analysis of the nested structure of the children within the classes of the school.
Several studies have been made in recent past over children involved in school
participation. Earlier, there was no concept of student input in the school environment. There
were set rules for the school construction and architecture and a standard procedure was
followed (holcomb, 2007). Ever since the studies were done and students were involved in
various school activities, not only the environment was made better but also the student
performance was accelerated.
As quoted by Woodhead (1997), children rights are essential since it breaks through
the societies when projecting the image of the children as dependent and powerless. It
furthermore empowers the children towards actively shaping their destiny and future.
