It is often said that parents cannot be a good teacher because their expectation towards child is too high. However, I do not agree with the previous statement for two reasons: Parents can teach their child very practically without wasting of time. Also, relationship between parents and child will be much closer.
To begin with, teaching their child is very efficient way to conduct education. Parents will teach their child with love and careness. They will do their best for the kids. Also, there will be no academic interception between year to year. If parents know their kid’s level perfectly, their teaching curriculum and plan will be much better and organized. For example, I know a family who is homeschooling. The two children of the family are very talanted in their field. One of them is studying physics just like her dad. Of course she had learned from her father. The other one is studying art learned from her mom. Both of them are following their own curriculums not disturbed by anyone. Winning many awards, these two kids say that their parents were the perfect teacher and they might have never accomplished what they have done without their parents.
In addition, teaching the child will help parents and child to have intimacy. Instructing the kid will provide parents to have enough conversation with their child. Moreover, this will lead to family-bonding. To illustrate, family members of my friend rarely talk. Her parents are too busy for their work and kids are too busy with their school. They hardly eat dinner together but even though whenever they are having one, they do not have any conversation topics to share. My friend used to complain about her parents do not care about their academic work. She did not even get any advice from her parents choosing her university. It might have been much better if her parents cared about their children’s academic status.
In conclusion, parents are the best teacher to their kids because parents are aware of level of their children and can teach with very efficient and practical curriculum. Futhermore, while sharing the children’s futhre, connection between parents and children will grow and it will bond their family together. |
