Essay. Parents are the best teachers.` This text is not the one I am very proud of. It turned awkward. But still... Question: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Parents are the best teachers. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer. Answer: Parents is the most close and loving people for almost every person. They are our first teachers and their lessons and influence are forming our characters and private features. Although their authority is the strongest during early years of growing, and their motives is focused on the child welfare, I personally believe, that the word "best" is not very suite here. There are a number of arguments to support that claim. First, our parents can only influence us during our youth. It is deniable that their knowledge and understanding would be seen in person's mind and features until the end of his life. But soon after reaching the teenager age, we begin to expand our views and knowledge beyond the reach of our parents. As a result, the significant part of knowledge about surrounding world will be taught by other people and, perhaps, our own experience. Secondly, despite all love and caress about their children, some parents, especially the young, are not very good teachers. Of course there are some exceptions, for example some family businesses. In the other hand, the knowledge we received from our parents is fundamental. The best and simplest method of teaching, from the beginning of the world, was the repeating. Children just repeat everything their parents do, and in a such way they learn to walk, to jump, to speak. Moreover, the parents are very interested in their child experience and educations in all meanings, and I would say they are the most careful and affectionate teachers. In conclusion I would like to emphasize that the importance of parent's lessons can not be exaggerated. However, during our lives we could find many wise or just suitable for us teachers, and their influence will be more strong.

New times dictates new conditions, and in this new world education plays one of the main roles.

For some high-paid professions the higher education is a requirement due to profession complexity. For example you can not become a doctor just after finishing high school, and I see it very reasonable due to very complicated structure of human body. To be able diagnosis the illness, medicine specialists have to know a lot about it. However, such knowledge require considerable time and therefore should be studied at university. Secondly, sometimes higher education allow to develop ability and talents of the student.

Economy require professional workers and educated people receive higher salaries. But also universities and colleges provides more deep understanding of subject and allow to discover new areas.
