Do you agree or disagree with the following
statement? Parents are the best teachers. Use specific reasons and examples to
support your answer.
Obviously, the first
teachers we have in our lives in most cases are our parents. They teach us to
speak, walk, ride a bike, behave ourselves etc. From my everyday experience and
observation I can totally agree with the statement that parents are the best teachers.
In the following paragraphs I will try to support my answer with some reasons
and examples.
First of all, I would
say that parents are our very first teachers. They with great patience pass
down the essential knowledge that we need in order to join "the real
world". Children often copy their parents' habits and traits because
children are sure that parents do only right things. Often children's first
wish is to be like their mother of father. Parents are the best teachers
because they wish their children a success and they do not teach them bad
things.
However in order to
succeed in today’s world children need more than just to know good manners and
be able to read and write. They need real teachers who would teach them logic,
mathematics, literature, foreign language, management etc. Moreover, they need
to communicate with the children of the same age. Adolescence is a period when
children learn more from their friends then from their parents. At this age
many young people reject their parents' advices and warnings. They begin to
learn from their own experience, make conclusions and analyze their first
mistakes. It is very important for parents in this period to be supportive and
patient. Children may slam door and refuse to do some things because they want
to feel independence.
Another important
aspect of this is that parents are the first people who must worn their
children about the danger of drugs and cigarettes and how to avoid and say
"No" when they need to. In the modern world parents must talk with
their children about everything because it can save their life and make them
happier. So, the role of parents is really important because it gives the
strength and understanding the real world.
In conclusion, I think
that parents are the best teachers because they give their knowledge that can
not be taken from books when it needs to be known by children.
