Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Good teachers are more important to a child’s development than good parents. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer. It is universially accepted that children are the future of a country, so when it comes to the development of children, there always is a fierce debate over who is more important to a child's development, good teachers or good parents? According to everybody's distinct experience, different people hold different point of views. As to me, I would like to say that in different stage of a child's development, things are diverse.
When a child is young which I mean it is not time for a child to go to school to receive education, good parents are extremely important for a little kid's development. During this time, the kids spend most of their time with their parents, and they are more easily to imitate the behaviors of their parents without idea of whether the behavior is good or not. So it is essential that parents should set good examples to their kids which will lead them to develop healthily. If parents do not focus on their behaviors and do not kick some bad habits, say, smoking, gambling, etc. these will do harm to the growth of their kids. An increasing number of evidences show that there are more and more juvenile delinquencies nowadays and most of these kids lack the attention of their parents. Therefore before kids go to school good parents are important to the development of them.
When a kid is appropriate to go to school, then good teachers are playing an extremely important role in the growth of children. Because the children will spend for more than 10 years in school, the influence of teachers is critical for the students’ development. When children study in school, what the teacher says are more powerful that the words of their parents, so if a teacher teaches something bad, the result will leave too much to be desired. An increasing number of parents are beginning to realize this point, so every year many children are sent to the schools in big cities to get better educations. I myself belong to them. Thus, it is conceivable that the importance of a good teacher can not be ignored.
To sum up, I posit that both good parents and teachers are important to the development of children. The difference between them just lies in the specific periods of the growth. However, it is undoubtedly that the development of a kid is so essential that no one can afford to ignore.
