答案 Are Parents the Best Teachers in Children’s Lives? When children are young, the only teachers they have are their parents. Parents teach children basic skills that are needed in the real world and important for children’s development. Thus, many people argue that parents are the best teachers. However, I believe that parents are not the best teachers because they are unable to be objective when it comes to their children and always try to force their own values and dreams on their kids. First, it is not possible for parents to make objective decisions about their children. Parents often believe their children can do no wrong. For example, a mother may immediately blame other children if hers gets into trouble at school for fighting. She could not possibly believe that her child would start any trouble. The complete lack of objectivity makes it increasingly difficult for children to learn from their own mistakes. What’s more, if children never learn to face the consequences of their actions, they will not be able to handle the issues that occur in the real world. The idea that either mom or dad will come to the rescue will not allow them to consider taking responsibility for their own actions. As an employee, this characteristic is extremely undesirable from an employer’s perspective. Second, parents often try to force their own values and dreams on their children. While either actively or unintentionally, parents need to remember that their children are separate people and need the opportunity to develop and make their own decisions. While a certain set of morals and attitudes may have been appropriate for their parents, children face changes that parents may be unable to adapt to due to generational differences. For example, a parent may find a certain type of music inappropriate for their children such as Eminem. While the lyrics use profanity on occasion, parents may forget that Elvis at the time was considered inappropriate due to his gyrating hips. When it comes to careers, trying to steer their child in a specific direction is only living vicariously . A child needs to make the choices in his own life, not to follow the goals and dreams of his parents. In conclusion, while parents play a significant role in the development of their children, they are not the best teachers. A parent’s lack of objectivity will detrimentally effect a child’s development when children are not held accountable for their actions. Parents may also push their values and dreams on their children against their wishes. These problems can seriously hold back a child’s overall development.
解析     家长到底是不是孩子最好的老师呢?本文开头对此提出质疑并引入自己的观点：Parents are not the best teachers because they are unable to be objective when it comes to their children and try to force their own values and dreams on their kids．在这一主题句中，我们不仅能清楚地了解到作者的态度，而且能预知本文将谈及的两大理由，一目了然。举例论证是本文的一大特色。值得一提的是，作者在举例时并未特指某一人或物，这种写作手法暗示了所举例子的普遍适用性，因而更具说服力。最后，作者得出结论：虽然父母在孩子的成长过程中扮演了重要的角色，但他们不是最好的老师。这一结论承认了父母的作用，没有将他们的功劳完全抹杀，这样的结论全面而又有所侧重，值得借鉴。
