Are parents the best teachers?
Teacher is a person whose occupation is teaching others, especially children. The teacher can be everybody, our parents, our friends, and school professional teachers. Who is the best one? In my opinion, the answer probably is our parents.
Obviously, the first teachers we have in our lives are our parents. They teach us how to walk, to speak, and to have good manners before we enter "the real world". Before we enter the school and have professional education, parents are generally the most involved in the development and education of their children.
Almost for sure our parents are the best teachers at the beginning of our lives, which actually corresponds to the parents' roles in nature. Parents are the most committed and involved in teaching their children. It seems that they have this kind of responsibilities to take care of us. They love us and have great patience while passing down their knowledge to us. They wish us to be successful and thus won't teach us some bad things.
During the second stage of children's growths (teenage), parents can still be in the best positions to offer advices even the children might not accept it. In this case, perhaps the children's friends would be the best teachers. The children will become much more interested in the opinions and friendship of others outside the home. They spend more time with their fiends than parents. Parents fear because teenagers are likely to get into trouble, or to become unhelpful or difficult. Consequently, parents give advices to the children, at aiming to distinguish good and bad friendships.
