An going debate exists over whether parents are the best teachers or not. Regarding this controversial issue, I firmly feel that parents are the best educators because they are the most familiar with their children, love them and always hold the best position to give advice.
Fist of all, parents know their children most and exactly who they are than anyone can. Parents and their babies spend most life-time together, thus parents are aware of what is the weak and strong point of children. But teachers in school can not know these facts, they only put the knowledge into them which is also gained from a text book.
Secondly, parents love their children so much that they concentrate their efforts on educating their babies. For example, in Korea, parents hire a tutor for their children with then thousand dollars or more. Do you believe that other teachers have the same mind toward your children? You will probably say "No". These investments on your children are based on parents' love not just enthusiasm. That is why I think parents are the best teachers.
In addition, parents always have the best position to give advice. In my experience, when I was young , in particularly , at the second stage of child development that is adolescence, I was so rude to my parents , spoke badly about people around me and even made an argument that led me to punch someone at last. At that time, I did not listen to anyone but to parents. I could not just ignore them because I strongly felt that they actually love me and they really want me to change. That little advice and help did change my entire life. I can say that was the most important time in my life. Also I can assuredly say parents are the best teachers.
To sum up, everyone may hold a different view of this issue. However, I absolutely support the prospective that parents are the best educators. The rationable behind this is as follows; parents know who I am most and most importantly love me. Although other teachers saving parents are also nice and informative, parents far outweighs its counterpart.
