ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY
Topic: Parents are the best teacher

For everyone, the people who have the most influence on his or her life are his or her
parents. However, in my view, the statement “Parents are the best teacher” is not
completely correct.

First of all, the key role of parents on the lives of their children from the early age to the
growth-up time is actually undeniable. Parents are the first teachers and also the most
important teachers who taught them the first lessons. What are the first lessons? Those
are the lesson how to crawl, how to stand, how to speak or how to walk which are the
most important lessons in their whole life, without these things, children would not be
mature as they should be. However, parents are not the best teachers but they are the best
teachers for everyone are themselves. Things they learn from their parents are valuable
but not enough for them to be successful in life. Parents are the people who connect their
children to the world at their early time but after that the children have to handle
everything for themselves. Therefore, it should not be said that parents are the best
teachers but the most important teachers.

Furthermore, it should be noted that many children were spoilt by their parents.
Sometimes, it is the parents who make their children to be the losers. In Vietnam, for
example; some children are forced to study hard on the field they do not like but their
parents do. After so many years wasting their time on the job they do not like, they who
have studied on their parents’s favorite field realize that if they had not listened to their
parents their lives would have been better. In some cases, parents are not serious enough
to their children so that they spoil them and they become bad lots. From the above
examples, it should be stressed that parents, in some cases, are not the best teachers but
even the worse teachers.

In conclusion, in my opinion, the statement mentioning that parents are the best teacher is
not right. This statement should be changed into “Parents are the most important
teacher”.
