The document discusses the key agents of socialization: family and school. It states that the family is the primary agent of socialization, where children first learn language, gender roles, and values. Schools also play an important role as they teach children skills and values to prepare them for the wider world, through both formal classroom learning and informal peer interactions. While families may socialize children differently, schools aim to standardize learning and modify aspects that are not acceptable to the broader community. Overall, both families and schools significantly influence how children are socialized and learn the norms of their culture.
