Everyone has parents, and people usually live with their parents for a long time. In this progress, people learn a lot of things from their parents. However, there has been an argument concerning whether parents are good teachers or not. Some people strongly believe that parents are the best teachers. However, other people claim parents cannot be good teachers. In my opinion, parents are the best teachers for everyone because of these reasons.
First, there is no doubt that to be a good teacher, the people should have a lot of attention to their students. In this sense, parents can be good teachers because almost parents have more attention to their children than anyone else. So to speak, they usually consider about their children and think children as their most important factor in their life. For instance, parents can point out a tiny misbehavior, like biting nails. Moreover, parents can correct children’s wrong speaking-habit, such as using slang, or improper intonation. These things are that other people cannot acknowledge easily. However, because their attentions almost always go toward their children, parents can detect and correct them. Therefore, because parents have attention to their children, parents can be good teachers.
Second, because parents can hugely contribute to form proper children’s personality, they are good teachers. In fact, the people who are called as good teachers usually contribute not only to students’ grade, but also to students’ personality. Furthermore, character of children is usually formed when they are young. In this sense, because parents usually have a more time with children than anyone else when children are young, they are definitely the most influential people to children’s personality. For instance, almost children observe and imitate their parents’ behavior, speech, habit, and so on. These things exactly affect to form children’s character. Furthermore, because parents usually already know about this fact, they tend to show, speak, and behave positively for their children. As a result, because this tendency hugely contributes on child’s personality, parents can be called as good teachers.
In summary, parents always try to form the proper character of their children, and they can teach many things which are seriously important to live in society with vast attention. For these reasons, I firmly believe that parents are good teachers. |
