Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? parents are the best teachers.
Nowadays, an increasing number of believe that parents are the best teachers because they can teach student about life. However, I believe parents are not the best teachers for students because their knowledge is limited and do not understand students very well.
To begin with, parents cannot be best teachers to students. The rationale behind this is that since the knowledge of parents are limited and more specific in their work it won’t be helpful to students. For example, when a student is having problem with a chemistry question, I do not think most parents can help with that. Even though they might have learned it before, their memory fades in between decades after their graduation.
Additionally, when parents would like to talk with students about various problems in school, they cannot help properly. When I was a little, I used to talk about my problems with my parents to get some advises. However, as I get old, for most of the time I started visiting school advisors to solve a problem. It is largely because since the situation and struggle has become differ from old days, parents’ advises from their school times do not really help. Instead of listening to my parents struggles and way to solve, a school advisor who has faced numerous problems through his/her long period of working is more reliable.
To sum up, parents are not the best teachers for students. In fact, I believe school advisors and teachers are the best since their experiences and knowledge is more suitable for students’ problems. That is why there is guidance office in every school. You see we sometimes face problems that we cannot talk to our parents, something like a relationship or marks. |
