Parents are best teachers

I am not so clear about what you are saying. I think the most important thing to realize is that we all have many teachers in our live. Our parents teach us, our teachers teach us and our peers teach us. Boos and newspapers and television also teach us. All of them are valuable.

When I say parents lead by example is that a father or mother should not do bad things like swear, heavy drinking and abuse; then expect the child not to do the same. The example means if we have parents who show good examples always then their actions teach the children. So you see it means the same things you state in your discussion. There are good teaching parents and their are bad teaching parents so my response translates the same. Best example is when a father drinks heavy he cannot say to his teenage son drinking is not good for you because he has shown his child that he does it so the child always believes that the father must be wrong because the father is still alive. When parents say don't do this or that they must look at their actions too. So my response reinforces exactly what you say in your discussion. Some good and some not so good.

Yea what you say is also a one good reason and I support what you say. What about following? Do you think you can agree with them? Parents are usually eaget to pass on their values to their children. But should children always believe what their parents do? May be different generations need different ways of thinking. When children are young, they believe that their parents are always right. But when they get older, they realize there are other views. Some times parents, especially older ones, can't keep up with rapid socail or technology changes. A student who has friends of all different races and backgrounds at school may find that their parents don't really understand or value the digital revolution. Some time kids have to find their own ways to what they believe in.
