A few people may say that a teacher in high school, or a professor in his college is the best teacher. I can see that each individuals has their own preferences and perspectives so that their answers to the question suggested in the topic may vary from person to person. However, in my opinion, parents are the best teachers for the following reasons.
Firstly, parents have usually been there for their children. They have watched their sons or daughters growing. Also, in other words, since they are the people who have been together with their children for the longest time, they know what their children in need. Therefore, they can teach or advise their sons what to do or how to do. To take an example of my brother, he fell in love with a girl at the first sight in his school. Since he had no experience of going out with girls, he had a kind of lovesick . He was like a boy who lost the direction. Nobody could help him but our parents. At first, no one could realize that my brother had a such concern. People around him just thought that he was being just lonely, but could not come up with the idea that he fall in love. Though, our parents easily guessed that their son were having a hard time to ask her out. Then, they told him their love story when they were undergraudates and encounraged him to do so like they did. With some encouragement from the parents, he could go out with the girl and finally asked her to be his girlfriend. This story shows that there is no one like parents who can notice their children’s needs and give appropriate advices.
Also, parents are the only teachers who can give full love and faith in their students. For teachers aside from parents, it is true for them that it is hard to forgive students when they do something wrong to them since they are not related in blood. Moreover, it means that it is difficult for them pointing out their students faults constantly. Maybe they can do so for a couple of times, yet it is certain that they will soon give up. For example, I have a friend whose both parents work. Therefore, they could not pay much attention to their only child. It is so sure that he started hang out with some problomatic students. Later, his homeroom teacher called him and gave him warnings. Howeve, he did not listen to her and kept playing with his new peers. Fortunately, his parents found out that their son’s grade was awful and why he became like so. Then, one of them quit the job and began to take care of him. Soon enough, he became a good student with good caring of their parents. This story illustrates that parents are better than any other teachers especially when it needs care.
In sum, teachers may just not be ones who teach their expertise. Probably, parents may not fully know about mathematics or chemistry. Nonethelss, students are always in need of real life experiences and constant love, and for sure, parents are the best for this. |
