ARE PARENTS THE BEST TEACHERS? I can't acclaim directly to if parents are or are not the best teachers but I have my own perspective about this subject. I think parents can be the best teacher in a way of building a great situation for children to grow up and learn most of the dos and don'ts along the way. I mean we can't call parents the best teacher but we can call them the best instructor. If a child could live through a real life with advantages and obstacles he or she could experience the life better. On the other side, if parents try to instruct children directly It won't work at all, especially in modern life that we all know young people doesn't take any advice from advanced age people. All in all, everything is about having a real life situation with parents care and support to grow up and understand the life in a perfect way.
