Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
Parents are the best teachers.

In my view, parents are the best teachers. I agree with this statement. Home is the first and most important school where parents are the teachers and children are the students. If parents want good children they should become first the best teacher.

Parents should first become the ideal for their children. Usually, parents want respect from their children and for others as well. For this first of all parents should model good behavior with elders and youngsters. For instance, in a joint family if parents’ behavior is good with grandparents then children also behave in a good manner.

All parents want good and intelligent children. Children can be intelligent if parents give attention to their children from childhood. Parents want their children to get first position on all exams, and for this they should devote time to their children. Parents should teach their children to have the habit of study from childhood. If parents keep studying good books, their children will also want to study all these good books. For knowledge, the habit of studying good books is very important. For children, watching television is not good. First of all if parents do not watch T.V. then their children probably will also not watch T.V. Parents should always have the habit to watch those channels which give some knowledge like Discovery and the news channels.

Parents should always give good teaching to their children. The reason behind this is that children all are the growing citizens of the country. For a good country children should be good and parents should also be good teachers. Children can develop in a good, knowledgeable and well mannered way if their parents are literate. If their parents are not literate, they cannot guide their children.

For a good, intelligent, well mannered and decent child first of all for this parents are the best teachers. The reason behind this is that teaching starts from the home. If the base is strong then good fruit will develop.
