TOEFL: Independent writing task Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Parents are the best teachers. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer. When it comes to personal and professional development, learning plays crucial role in lives of people. When people desire to learn something new, they can use different approaches, including finding a teacher. In my opinion, it is not the best decision to have parents as teachers, due to the fact that most of them do not have sufficient knowledge of specific subjects and did not pass training to become a teacher. While looking for advice about learning, many people hear a quotation that if you want to become a millionaire, you have to learn from a millionaire. The same approach we should use with doctors, lawyers, engineers etc. In most cases parents do not posses specific knowledge for teaching their children or such knowledge is insufficient. That is why, in author’s opinion, it is better to ask professional teachers who have great knowledge and experience in specific subject, to teach a person. The second point is that most parents did not study on professional trainings for teachers. Those people who have education of a teacher know different methods of learning, have experience of communication with learners and can professionally evaluate your skills and knowledge, and give qualitative feedback. For conclusion, parents can be good teachers. Nevertheless, such examples happen rarely, so that people who choose to learn from professional teachers benefit more from lessons. Please, evaluate my essay on the scale 1-5. Thanks!
