Topic : Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
Parents are the best teachers. | |
|
These days, there are many students who is being homeschooled and some people think that parents are the best teachers because they have seen their children grow and know their children the best. I disagree with this statement because parents are too tied with their children emotionally and they are lacking professional knowledge or teaching skill.
First, Parents and children are emotionally tied. Children are usually not obedient and respectful towards their parents as much as they do to their teachers because parents are less strict than their teachers. Children tend to think that their teacher can scold them harshly when they did something wrong and be strict to them, but not their parents. They want their parents to be gentle and admonishing. If their parents start to be strict when they teach, they will feel uneasiness and uncomfortable while learning from them. The relationships between teachers and children are more different than the relationships between parents and children.
Secondly, Parents do not have enough knowledge or teaching skill. Teachers are well trained to teach someone in schools or other institutions. Although parents are well educated and graduated university or college, they do not have teaching skill and only have professional knowledge on their major. To teach children, they need enough knowledge in various fields which their children are going to be interested or curious. Without enough knowledge and skill to teach their children, they can not be the best teacher, or even more, they can ruin their children.
Parents can be good mentors in children’s life with their understanding towards their children, but they can’t be the best teachers, because of their emotionally tied relationship with their children and lack of knowledge in educational field. | |
