It is argued that at school age, teachers have more impacts

on student’s knowledge and interpersonal growth than their

parents do. While some believe that the mentioned issue is true,
I only partly disagree with this view because of the following
reasons.
Admittedly, teachers can exert influence on the growth of
their pupils in terms of intelligence and social skills. Actually,
students - especially young children - are extremely perceptive
to the behaviors of others around them. Therefore, it is possible
for instructors to have a significant impact on children'
development when they are assigned to a school where they
spend the most of their time with the kids. For instance, students
can develop their interpersonal skills, such as teamwork and
communication, as well as their various types of intelligence,
such as problem solving or logical thinking, by participating in
group work projects or creative activities that are planned by
their teacher.
Apart from the huge influence on children of teachers
expressed above, I would argue that the effect of parents on their
children is much more significant than that of teachers. Firstly,
the children’s intellectual development can be affected by the
way their mother or father chooses what to be included in their
diet. Children are more likely to become smarter adults if they
are fed with foods that are beneficial for their minds, like
walnuts or salmon. Besides, kids’ social skills depend on their
parents’ personalities. For instance, it is likely that a child reared
in a talkative and outgoing family will become sociable
individuals and better perform interpersonal skills in the future.
 In conclusion, despite undeniable impacts of teachers, what
can define how intelligent and how good at social skills a child
can be is his or her parents. However, it is essential for both
parties to join hands for the sake of the comprehensive growth
of children.
