Hello,

When I said parents I did mean who take care us when child/teenager. Not just biologic parent.
I think that someone else who take care us back as child have high influence on our education,
same not being biologic parents. So I bet that Parents biologics or not biologic are the best teacher
because they are always concerned with us. 

What about you ?

yeah..i totally agree that our parents are very best teacher for our
life. We could learn many thing from them actually about their cares
and love. So its hard for you to find out another one in this world
when you are the child that live in a harmony family. But those who
live in the broken family, it would be terrible. Its just normal that
everybody need a parents to share together and learn about the meaning
of life.

To say that parents are the best teachers is  saying  that the parents who do drugs and abuse their children are doing a good jobs I will agree that to be a good parent and to teach your children you  have to live up to very good values Some single parent do a better job in raising their kids that a home where there is two parents who are fighting all the time

  I feel so sorry for people that don't had your parents' love. Many things stay without explanation without a father or mother living together.
  But there are cases that would be better if the parents doesn't exist.
  Kids always need some people refence to grow up, to imitate and when their parents are drunks, violents, or live in a incorrect way, these children could have many problems in their lives...

Who affect us in childhood and when we are teens? This are people who
with us. And it have to be parents if family is healthy.
I'll give you too ideal example( it's too nice to be true), if you
don't agains(don't mind). It's my favourite film The Blast from the
past. Parents are most close people. Maybe parents are example how you
should live for somebody. I like study) and I thanks my parents. Maybe
I've not get all answers in this live but I know way to live.

I think the teacher of a child is generally people who he/she likes
the most. Unconsciously or not, almost all children loves their
parents, even if parents mistreat them. So, the parents have a major
role on their rasing. However, after a certain age, mainly when they
are teenager, their friends are the people who their spend most of
their time and their friends are also who they give their full
consideration. So, teenagers will teach themselves each other: "Tell
me your company and I will tell you your character". That's why so
important to watch who teens are in company with. And finally here the
outcome of my thinking: the initial period of the raising of a child
will influence who they are, and so the friends who they will look for
in the future.

When I say the best teacher, I mean the most important person for the
growing of a child. That is, I agree with the statement "parents are
the best teacher". And I think their parents will be their best
teachers even so they maltreat their children. In this case, I think
they will be their best teachers (the most important person for their
growing), altough they will be teaching wrongly.

I think there isn't a formula concerning the best way of parents teach
their children. I think a good way of raising a child is with respect,
attention and patience.

What do you think?

Hello

Yes , you are right, since the child is opening her eyes from the beginning day of life, she sees her parents and also during growing up, she trusts them and thinks that whatever they do is right and correct so try to mimic them. In this case, I think they will be their best teachers (the most important person for their growing), although they will be teaching wrongly.

And i agree with you that the best way to raise a child is through study and use experience s of others, being patient and treat her/him respectfully.

Take care
Elham

It is said that a child is the teacher of a man.And I agree with this point of view.I think it is the life which is the best teacher and it conveys it's teachings through various people whom we come across in our lives.The first of these people are our parents who from the day we come in this world take the onus of caring for us,imbibing in us the values which they have in turn learned from their parents, and help us in understanding how to overcome the problems which we confront in our lives.Then when we reach our teenage alongwith our parental guidance we also start learning from our friends,teachers & the people around us.After that as an adult when we stand on our own feet we alongwith all the things which we have learned till now,reach out to learn more from our social groups. Then when we settle down and become parents then comes a time when we try to give our children all the knowledge which is both the good &the bad to them but in that process we also realize that we learn a lot from our children's they help us a lot in disiplining our lives.They make us feel that for them we want to become more good as a person.For them inside our hearts as a parent we feel an unconditional love which is selfless & pure.So a child helps a man to become more good as a person through his pleasant presence in his life.
