[Essay 2 ] Are parents the best teacher ?
Throughout all the years in my life, I was influenced by my parents in many fashions, from the way of thinking to the trifle everyday habbits. No doubt, all of us inherit the gene form our parents and get basic knowledge and norms from them. What we learned from our parents in the early years will be encoded in our mind and be reflected in nearly every aspects of our behaviors. But in terms teaching, I do not think it's our parents who are the best teachers.
As is known to all, a child will be better trained with a systematic education. However, except those parents who are school teachers themselves, few parents grasp the systematic way of teaching. On the one hand, children can only build their foundation of knowledge step by step from formal education at school. On the other hand, parents can only teach their children sporadic information. It is obvious that youngsters will be better equipped through formal education in classrooms.
From the emtional angle, the bond between child and parents are so tight that the parents cannot give a more objective instruction than a school teacher can. Some parents tend to spare their children from hard work and, to the extreme, some even spoil their children by allowing them to do everything they want. All these are resulted from parents' love toward the children. But from an objective angle, hard working is sometime a necessary step toward success. Parents shoulld not be blame for loving their children but such love may become obstacles of objective instruction.
With the approaching of the knowledge of economic, we may find that our parents' knowledge is becoming obsolete. In a changing world, the youngsters are always the first to get in touch with new ideas and technologies. the elderly, however, are always not used to such rapid changes. Thus, conflicts are inevitable between parents and their children. Accordingly, the youngsters are no longer willing to comply with parents' ideas. To catch the tide of such changes, it is of the best for the young to learn from the open world instead of from the obsolete knowledge of their parents.
All these are not to say that to learn from parents is useless. In fact, even in the rapidly changing world, the scope of parents' knowledge and experiences still have great influence on their children, especially young children. But for the young to get the most needed knowledge, they should not solely rely on what they learned from their parents.
