Are parents the best teachers?

Life has gone through great changes since education comes into people’s life, without which people may not be able to survive in this high-competition society. However, obviously, in most cases the earliest teachers people have are their parents, and parents are generally most concerned about the development of their children. For instance, they know their personality as well as what they want, and most importantly, they are totally free to teacher their children. However, not every family is the same. They may be filled with variety, so it is not completely true to say that parents are the best teachers.

Opponents argue that parents are the best teachers because they know their children most. For instance, if their children study at home, they can get a very good feedback after classes. It is easy to figure out what are the defects that their children have, according to which they can easily and conveniently change and adopt their teaching plan for the children. Nevertheless, some parents are qualified as good teachers, but not all of them are the best ones. When children are in the preliminary school, it is not surprising that parents are perhaps capable of teaching their children almost every subject even better than professional teachers in the school. But the situation will not last long. We live in a world where knowledge is accumulated by multiplying and at the same time becomes more and more specialized. Therefore, to be a professional in a certain field today takes much longer time than has ever been before. No parent is able to be professional in all fields, though they might be experts in one or more fields. Wise parents often release rather than charge their children as early as possible. They are aware of the possibility outside the family.

Moreover, parents are considered to be the first people who teach their children how to become stronger as well as how to face the world. Children learn all the basic skills from their parents instead of the teacher or classmates in the school. For instance, when they are 2 years old, it is mother/ father who teach them how to walk. It is almost impossible for a child to learn this in a kinder garden. Thus, it is said that parents are always play positive roles when they are teaching. Nonetheless, not all parents are good teachers. As normal individuals, some parents more or less have some bad habits. Even though parents

almost instinctively devote themselves to cultivating their offspring, the outcome might turn out to be disappointment, for all children tend to unconsciously or subconsciously copy everything including bad ones from their parents. Another deficiency of parents as teachers is that most parents are lack of common senses of education. All too often we observe some parents tend to pursue their cherished but failed dream by forcing their children to develop in a prearranged direction. Ironically, when their children do not follow the instructions, the children will be regarded as disobedient or allegedly rebellious. In fact, it is parents rather than their children that virtually disobey common senses.

Admittedly, parents are the ones who are considered as the best teachers because they will take care of their student without doubt. Even though some teachers may treat students as their own children, it is hard to take care of everyone in the school because their energy is limited. However, parents may help their children much more than do good teachers. Most parts of children education are virtually beyond teachers' reaches. It is parents that supplement. Psychology studies have shown us that parents' love sometimes has astonishingly magic power to their children. Both Albeit Einstein's mother and that of Forest Gump are good examples. On the other hand, parents might do their children harm more than do bad teachers as well. The natures of those children whose parents have divorced are often severely distorted.

In conclusion, it is rather superficial and of overstatement to simply say that parents are the best teachers. Parents, in my point of view, are supposed to do more than teach. It is better to send children to the school because sometimes what children need to learn is not only just knowledge, but also how to deal with different people and the big society.

Euthansia should be legalised

The issue of Euthansia (Mercy Killing) is one of the most disputed/debated/controversial topic of our times.(1) Analysing the different aspects of the issue I wish to express my strong disappointment of the practise.(2) No man has the right to terminate the life of another even it is to end his or her suffering.(3)

To begin with, human life is precious.(4) A life once destroyed can never be be bought back.(5) Moreover, even if the person wants to end his or her life helping him in doing so is unethical.(6) For doing so would be aiding suicide, which is a crime in the eyes of religion and law.(7)

On the other hand, supporters of Euthansia feel that death is preferable alternative to suffering, tremendous and endless pain.(8) This is not always true, they do not realise that death puts an end to any hope of a miraculous recovery which is possible even in the most desperate situation.(9)

Therefore, weighing the pros and cons of the issue I strongly feel that Euthansia is a practise that should never be encouraged or excused.(10) Ending a person's life is a privilege that rests with the superior power.

Every argumentative essay must have.
