Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Parents are the best teachers. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer. |
In modern society, it has been controversial whether or not we could consider parents best teacher. However, I basically disagree with the position that there are no teachers better than parents. This is because parents usually have very limited knowledge, and there are some possibilities that they have some prejudices for judging their children. Most of all, most parents do not have current knowledge of broaden field. Generally, old people such as father, mother, and grandfather are given old information when they were in school years. Moreover, even though they have live for a long time, most parents only know what their life are closely related to. Accordingly, their knowledge is not useful for their children who would live in the future. For example, when I was young, I had some wonderings about America history, and I have asked that question to my mother. On the other hand, I am not satisfied with her answer. After that day, when I have asked same question to my history teacher, he has given me perfect solution to me. From my experience, I could conclude that parent know everything which are useful for their son or daughter. In addition, parents tend to have a bias about their offspring. As a matter of fact, when parent evaluate achievement or result of their children, they mostly consider those things which their child do in positive perspective. This is because parents usually have so much affection for their offspring, and it would not make father and mother objectively judge their children. As a result, parents do not become the persons who direct their child to better way. For instance, In the human resources research, one of those articles represents that 85.5% of Korea parents tend to positively evaluate their children`s looks more than other children`s that. I think this information would prove that most parents are not objective because judging the appearance of person is very inevitably subjective. |
