Whether parents are our best teachers or not -
is a never-ending debate and people are
divided both in favour and against this
argument. Both have a very strong contribution
and influence on the learning of a child, but in
my opinion parents overtake the teachers in
terms of teaching their children.
First of all I would like to point out that a
teacher is not merely a person who takes a text
book and read texts from there to a student.
Rather a teacher is someone who devotes his/
her times to teach someone everything that
someone needs to know to advance to next
step. Morality, intricacies of life, subject matter
knowledge, art, science, history, value of time
etc. are something that can not be taught
through academic books and a good teacher is
someone who teaches someone these all.
Now that we know the true responsibility of a
teacher, we can easily compare our parents
and teachers. The things that we learn from our
parents are far more important than what we
learn from our teachers. I am not denying the
invaluable knowledge we learn from our
teachers through our academic years, but what
we learn from our parents are incomparable.
We learn to survive, talk, and distinguish well
from bad, values of life, morality and such
important other things from our parents. We are
the true reflection of our parents and our
characters are shaped from their personality
and behaviours. Later the teachers help us to
enhance our knowledge, horizon and our view
of life but the very foundation and ground are
made by our parents.
The parents sacrifice so many things of their
life just to ensure a better life for us and nothing
in this whole world could even be compared
with their sacrifice for us, Think of student who
is unable to pay his/her monthly school fees
would be cast away from the school and the
beloved teachers would scarcely be there to
help him/her. On the other hand the parents
would always be there with their every possible
effort to help the child.
In summary, the things we learn from our
teachers are important for our lives and with
those valuable lessons and knowledge we
prepare for the future but the things we learn
from our parents shapes who we are, who we
become and their contribution is much more
important compared to the contribution of the
traditional academic teachers and that is why in
my opinion parents are best teachers.
