 Hi Sharon:
It was very interesting to read your philosophy on teachers/parents and children. Do you personally believe everything you wrote?

Dear Aletha :

I wrote what I believe, that's for sure.

I knew that I should write at least 300 words in one essay, when I attend the exam.

There are some rules that I believe that the seniors suggest me to follow, maybe next time we can aske Daniel for that, becasuse I don't know them very well so far.

2 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Parents are the best teachers. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer .

I don’t agree that parents are the best teachers. Teaching is a kind of professional skill that not everyone is good at it. Teaching children also needs energy and (al lot = takes a lot of) concentration but many parents (as = that) I know, have their own full time job, they almost have no time and extra energy for their children.

Most parents expect their children to behave well and do well in school (, = . With) this high expectation, it’s almost impossible for them to be neutral. I (saw = have seen) some parents (tried = try) to teach (their) children by themselves, some succeed(, comma not necessary before but) but most of them failed. Teaching (needs = takes) a lot of patience, but not many parents have that quality.

Most parents want their children (can do = to do) better than they do. Some of them love to compare their children with other people’s children, to see the difference. That will create a lot of pressure between children and parents. When parents say “you can do better” to children, it’s very easy for children to translate the teaching or comment into “you don’t love me anymore.”

What children want most from their parents is love, not teaching. (That is different roles from teachers to parents. = That is how a parents role is different than a teachers.)  (Leaving = leave) the teaching job to teachers, don’t try to be one. (Besides children will easy get confused who he should listen to if there are any conflict. = Besides, children will easily get confused as to whom he should listen to if there is a conflict.)

I believe all children need( s= no s) someone to love them no matter what. Accepting (who they are = them for who they are) and (to tolerant = tolerating) their mistakes will be the most important mission for parents. Parents can cooperate with teachers while children are in the school, this kind of team can supply more support for children in many way.
