A child spends his/her initial five to six years at home with
his/her parents or caretakers At the age 5 to 6, while still living with his/her parents, s/he starts to go to school to receive formal education So who are the most important to the child's development is an interesting topic discussed among educators In my opinion, I agree with the statement that good teachers are more important than good parents Good teachers are expert educators They received formal training in various academic fields and teaching itself They can provide students with knowledge in various academic subjects In addition they have experience in dealing with various types of students Furthermore, good teachers not only teach children academic knowledge, but also set a good example to children Many children regard their teachers as role models Teachers roles are irreplaceable Schools provide a suitable environment for children's growth Schools are equipped with qualified teaching and supporting staff and adequate study and sports facilities, all contributing to children's growth Schools also organize field trips and practicum from time to time in order to broaden students' views about nature and the society At school, a child can appreciate the value of friendship and teamwork by playing with their classmates With the help of good teachers students can develop their characters and social skills Therefore schools with good teachers are the best place for children to receive education and develop their characters. While good parents play the crucial role of nourishing the child helping build the child's character, and helping develop the child's hobbies such as music and sports, they can do little to help with the child's academic study, which is the critical part of the child's development, unless those parents are themselves good teachers Therefore, teachers are the most important people for children's personal growth and development Every child should go to school to receive their formal education.
