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.

Leading our lives, we are supposed to meet many teachers. They always give us many attentions and love. We can learn useful Knowledge and skills, whenever we go to school. We also can be taught from teachers who are not professional on teaching skill like parents, seniors, neighborhood and even friends. Although they are very important for us, I think parents are the best teachers. There are some reasons supported this line.
As you know, parents are our first teachers giving many basic skills in our life. After coming out of mother’s womb, we meet our parents first and start living with them. In the early time of our life, we are like white papers without any colors and letters, so whatever from mother and father should be basic words in our life story. We passed through the important moment like first step of walking and saying. In this time, our parents always do their best to teach us how to walk, how to way for making conversation and how to read a book.
Parents teach us very useful wisdom and social skills. Having lived for longer time than their children, they have many experiences which can be appropriately applied on any situations. They do not forget to give an advice that we have to be nice to friends and elder people. Basic social roles and laws acquired to citizens can be also heard from our parents. We basically know that the green light is the signal for walking across the street due to mother’s behavior on the street.
Parents are good advisers, friends and our family members, and give us so much love. We never forget a teacher who teaches and gives some directions with love and dedicated mind about their students. Given those reasons, I think there is no one who surpasses parents as a best teacher.

PARENTS ARE THE BEST TEACHERS 11.27
Throughout our lives, parents and teachers have the important role to educate us; teachers have a significant task in academic preparation,and parents teach us human values. However, I think that our parents are the best teachers in the world.

Our mothers and fathers have educated us since the moment of birth. During our first years, they coach us in basic life care like eating, talking, walking, speaking, and potty training. Also, even before going to school, they educate us character values like respect, honesty, being polite, and how to differentiate right from wrong. "Magic words" like "please" and "thank you" are first learnt from our parents.

During our lifetime, teachers and parents are our educators. Teachers are mostly involved in specific scholar education, and their instructional activity is mostly related to academic teaching. They also have to teach a full class of students, in a time-frame imposed by school rules and schedule. We also change many teachers during our academic education. On the other hand, parents are always available for us 24 hours/day, 7 days/week all our lives, and their teaching activity is mostly one-on-one. In addition, their life lessons are extremely valuable and not written in any book.

In summary, both parents and teachers are our main educators. However, their role in our education is different. Teachers are mostly responsible for intellectually training, while our parents shape our character. With no doubt, parents are the best teachers in the world.

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

In my point of view, the role of parents on the life of their children, are more important than any 'classic teachers', because they watch and guide on every day from the beginning to the teens days. Its like a process with a beginning on the first days of life, and ending when they get adults.
In the next paragraphs, I will describe some examples of my real life, to demonstrate why I agree with this topic.

In my first days on my scholastic life, I usually went to school with my mother. She encourage me to be a good student and to feel secure on the new scenario, and with my new friends.
Also if any problem occur at school, was my father the guide to solve. Sometimes he went to speak to my teachers about my qualifications.

On the next years, because my mother has an excellent mathematical talent, I learned with her some great techniques to resolve arithmetic problems in the shorten time. More than to learn simple mathematicians lessons, she encourage me to improve all the specs and be happy making investigations.

In conclusion, the most interesting lessons about both the life and the school, have been passed from my parents to me. I had some greats 'normal teachers' at school and also in the University, however there is no doubt about my parents has been my best teachers.
