after we were born, our parents taught us to smile, talk, walk, eat, bath. they told us what's wrong and what's right. they praised us when we commited a erro. they punished us when we did something right. so do you think our parents are the best teacher in our life?

welcome to the wonderful world of mylot lym. parents are the best teacher while we are kids, but when we are growing up they become great advicers. the best teacher for me is experience. you learn from it and you become a better person from it. they are good teachers and advicers but for me experience is still the best teacher. just my opinion.

I couldn't really tell weather they are the best teachers but they did teach me a lot of things. My parents were really strict when I was young. It is never our culture here in my country to talk back at your parents. There were many cases that I want to explain for myself about something that I did but I was never allowed to say anything because it is considered as rude. I learned to keep my feelings to myself and had a diary as a best friend where I can our out all my emotions. It was hard for me at that time but now that I am older and married, I somewhat realized that even though I had those experiences with my parents on how they brought me up, I am still grateful because they taught me how to be strong.

I agree with you that parents is the best teacher but education world says that Parents especially Mother is the first teacher and Home is the prime school.If you look someone who Succesed just look at his parent.So, parent have to be smart parent if they would like to have smart children.But don't be no surpeise when you look bad children because the first school when they learn is HOME.

I definitely think that parents are the best teachers that a child will ever have regarding moral issues and interacting with other people. I dont believe that I would be the person I am today without my mother's patience and support and my father's dicipline. It is funny to me sometimes to think that during my teenage years, I thought these were the stupidest and meanest people on God's earth. It amazes me, even now, how very smart and reasonable they became when I had my first child. Dad's curfews and not allowing me to go hang out with my friends at the mall didnt seem so strict. I certainly understood the reasons for all those rules. It is sad that we dont understand and appreciate all that our parents do and suffer for our sakes while we are still children.
