Abstract

Helping our children become successful people has become a big problem to both teachers and parents. This article will talk about the history of nature and nurture and how people have changed their understanding of it over time. Understanding how nature and nurture affect human behavior and children’s development will help both parents and educators change the education system to help more children be successful. Also, the way that the government supports the improvement of education will be discussed.
