Many people said that school is children’s the second home, and teachers are like their parents. That reason why, many suggestions that teacher have more influence on children’s intelligence and social development than their parents. However, in my opinion, I do not agree with it.
Nowadays, teacher have a lot of influence to the children, they are the one who teach children from the knowledge to social skill. Because children spend most of their time in day at the school so they have more chance to interact with their teacher. In addition, many parents could not spend their time with their kids at home, so children need to find another exemplar. That reason why teacher may know more about children than the parents and deeper intervention in children development. For example, kindergarten students normally listen to their babysitting and teacher more than their parents.
However, on the other view, parents still are the one who have more influence on the children. Firstly, they are the one who creating the children’s lifestyle. In some family, children need to follow their parents rule in the lifestyle or some children are just copy their parents. For example, hobby, habit and the time table. Those are very important factor that effect to the children’s intelligence and social development and create their personality . Secondly, it is hard for children to understand their teacher, because most of the time they meet each other are in the school where is the teacher’s workplace. Meanwhile, it is easier for children to find the connection in their family members, so they have more influential on the children.
In conclusion, both teacher and parents have an important role in children’s develop, but for many reason, children could learn more things on their father and mother.
