TOEFL essay: Parents are the best teachers

[proalyssa199]

Do you agree or disagree with this statement: "Parents are the best teachers"?

Education plays a very important role in every human’s life, so choosing good educators is also essential. As a child and a student, I can tell at heart that parents are the best teachers.

To begin with, parents are persons who raise and support a child from s/he was born, which means that parents are the closest ones to a child during his/ her first years. Undeniably, they understand their child very clearly, I think almost clearly. To some children who are intelligent or gifted by nature, their parents can easily recognize their kids’ talent and orient them to their pertinent career in future. Moreover, parents also know at heart their children’s inclinations as well as demeanors, which helps them to find a good way to educate and chasten their children.

Because parents have a lot of experiences and seen through variegated difficulties as well as sorrow from lives, they are, in most cases, the best counselor of their children. They can distinguish the right from the wrong, the good from the bad, and they will lend their children a hand to recognize that. If we have trouble choosing a good high school after graduating from secondary school, ask parents and they will give you the best answer. If we cannot know how to deal with those boisterous friends, turn to parents to ask for the best behavior or handling in this case.

Last but not least, parents can set a good example for their children. A child whose father is a successful business will try their best to make a good name and reputation in life. A child whose mother is tidy, forgiving and considerate will learn to behave as well as her to be loved by most of people.

In every person’s life, education is non-stop and they can study from a lot of people and things. However, I believe that parents are always the best teachers who will love and guide their children whenever they are in need.
