PARENTS ARE THE BEST TEACHERS

In The Name Of God Most Gracious Most Merciful Parents Are The best Teachers

One day I’m watching T.V and there is a program talking about covering a huge dome with mosaic ornaments in Tajikistan, a very accurate work of art. The craftsman, who takes the responsibility of this job, spent twenty-seven years without finishing the work and he hopes that his child will! . I think that there are two kinds of knowledge spontaneous and experimental. The first one was the common knowledge of the human beings; it is what makes the difference between mankind and other species. The second was the knowledge gained by experience; it is what makes the difference among the individuals. We take our experimental knowledge from our community. Now lets imagine that the community was a big circle contains many small circles with the same center point and the smaller circle was our PARENTS. When the big circle was so small that it contains only our parents; I mean when the big circle was at the same time the small one, we will learn almost every thing from our parents and there will be a small change in our life from our parent’s life. We can see very small communities in some isolated villages in Africa where the whole tribe was one family and they all share the same knowledge through centuries. This will explain why the humanity take long time to change at the ancient world. In our new world the communication changed every thing the big circle; community, wasn’t only my town or country it is the whole world and my dependent on my parents changed. Certainly, there are differences from place to place; in the western world where children depends on themselves at early ages and they have the new communication tools they will get there knowledge more and more out of the small circle and they can change there community faster and faster. From where I came from the children depends on their parents until they marry and build a new circle where they were the center of it so they gate almost every thing concerning life from there parents. They learn language, mathematics, science in the school but they don’t learn real life there. In all countries east and west the parents will stay a very important stage of learning because they will always be the smaller circles the nearest one. It is part of our spontaneous knowledge.

This essay has nice organization and good ideas, but some of the language is a little bit awkward.

Parents influence greatly their children for a lifetime. I think people are molded by two factors, family and the society that they are in. From birth, humans are influenced by the surrounding people for their characteristics. Parents take a big role in bringing up children, which affects their lives for a long time.

In early infanthood, babies are looking to moms and dads to learn basic manners to be accepted in society. Some of these manners include not running around in restaurants or hitting other kids. As they grow up, they learn more from parents about social etiquette, which makes them more suitable to live in society. Children tend to look to their parents for role models knowingly or unknowingly.

Besides, parents can also affect children’s study habits. Children of doctors , lawyers, investment bankers, and other professionals see their mothers and fathers work a lot of time, reading books, and punching keyboards, even at home. They are showing their children how to study by their own behavior.

However, parents can also be a bad example for their kids. It is difficult for children who have abusive parents to lead a normal childhood and is possible that they may become similar to their abusive parents when they grow up. In this sense, the parents’ negative role in shaping the children's personality cannot be emphasized more.

In conclusion, parents are the best teachers for their children. They leave big marks on their children’s lives and are therefore more influential teachers than any others they may have in their lives.

This essay has nice organization and good development. The author has some fairly deep ideas about this topic and conveys them well.

Obviously, the first teachers we have in our lives in most cases are our parents. They teach us to walk, to speak, and to have good manners before we reach "the real world." More than even the professional teachers that we have in school, parents are generally the most involved in the development and education of children.

Almost for sure our parents are the best teachers at the beginning of our lives, which actually corresponds to the parents' role in nature. Parents are most committed and involved in teaching their children; they have a kind of instinct to sacrifice a part of themselves for the betterment of their children. They love us and have great patience while passing down their knowledge to us. They wish us a success and thus will not teach us bad things. And of course, implicit learning occurs when children unconsciously copy some of their parents' habits and styles of behavior.

During the second stage of child development, adolescence, parents can still be in the best position to offer advice even though the children might not accept it. In this case, perhaps the child's friends would be the best teachers. Adolescents are notoriously rebellious in many cultures and may automatically reject any advice from their parents. My first marriage for instance, was solely a matter of doing the opposite when my parents tried to intrude in offering their advice. So in such matters, parents should be much more flexible and be rather the partners with their children. So we can see that being a teacher of growing child become more and more complicated case as the time passes and many parents are simply not able to meet the increased demands.

On the other hand, I would say that parents are not professional teachers and they tend to be very biased by their love of their children. So wishing good things and an easy life may prevent children from maturation. In any case, parents usually can present only one viewpoint of the world, while good teaching should be based on different attitudes. Thus, when children go to school and have a great diversity of teachers, they learn much more than their parents could probably give them. Furthermore, once our parents get older, they become more conservative and cannot always be objective in regard to modern trends and fashions. Thus we need to take their advice with caution during that period. However, some kind of intuition which I believe shared between relatives about what everybody needs and great love which exists in a families still makes our parents very good teachers and advisers at any time.

In conclusion, while parents are not the ideal teachers, and well-rounded children will generally need a great diversity of teachers in their lives in order to have a more accurate view of the world, parents are generally the most committed of all teachers and have the greatest emotional investment in their children and their future.

Some ideas of what to write about for a good score:

Parents generally have a greater commitment to their children than their teachers do.
Parents might not be impartial (fair) with their children.
Parents are not professional teachers.
Teachers are professionals.
Teachers usually do not have enough time to spend with their students.

Most common errors with this essay topic:

Failure to restate the topic is one of the most common errors that sees in most essays. For example, many essays start like this: "I agree with this point..." We need to say something like this: "I agree that having food that is easy to prepare has improved our lives."
Very few people stated that parents are very important because children have so much contact with them in the first years of their lives. Most psychologists agree that these years are fundamental to the emotional and mental growth of the child.
