Children are our future leaders. For our bright future, children should receive best education which indicates that they need best teachers. Some parents state that they are the best teachers for their own children. However, it is not true that parents are the best teachers.
To begin with, parents cannot be the best teachers because they are not professional in every subject. Of course there are many parents who gradated university or even graduate school. However, they still majored in one or two subjects which mean that they are professional in subjects they majored in. It is evident that a parent who majored in English will have a hard time teaching Math to his or her child. Thus, it will be more efficient to let the child learn from math teacher. For instance, my neighbor Bob, thinks that he can teach his son Mark everything. So Bob taught Mark all the subjects since when Mark was in elementary school. When Mark was young, there were no difficulties in teaching since the studies were not that difficult. Nonetheless, as Mark became older, Bob encountered some problems that he could not explain to Mark. Since Bob was a English major, he was a lay person in biology which Mark always asked questions about. Feeling limitation, Bob gave up teaching his own son and hired tutor to help Mark. This example shows that since parents do not know everything, it is hard for them to teach their children.
On top of this, children tend to not to listen to their parents which parents will not be able to teach them efficiently. It is very crucial to follow the instruction of the teachers in order to improve. If the teacher gives homework, the students should accomplish it to acquire that information. However, if the students disobey the teachers, education will not be held appropriately. So it is important that students listen to the teachers. Unfortunately, many children try to ignore their parents' advices. When the parents give some suggestions to children, they do not regard those very useful. This prevents the parents to become the best teachers. To be specific, my cousin Max is a high school student. His mother is social studies teacher. So Max learns social studies from his mother. His mother tried very hard to improve Max's social studies grades. She gave him not only the knowledge but also many advices and suggestions. But Max thought all those advices were inefficient and ignored them. For this reason, he got the lowest score on his social studies exam. This indicates that however the parents work hard to educate their children, it is of no use because children do not listen to them.
Due to the tendency that children overlook their parents' advices and the lack of profession in parents, parents are not the best teachers.
