Yes, I think schools should teach children about animals. When kids learn about animals, they start to respect them and understand why it's important to protect them. It also makes science classes more fun and interesting. Plus, if children know more about animals, they might not be so scared of them and can learn to be kinder and more caring.

I don't think it's necessary for schools to teach about animals. There isn't always enough time in the school day, and some children just aren't interested in animals. It's probably better for schools to focus on important subjects like math and reading, which are more useful for their future.
