For school children, their teachers have more influence on their intelligence and social development than their parents. To what extend do you agree or disagree?
It is argued by some people that the intelligence and the social development of children in
school
is mainly influenced by their teachers. I disagree with this
notion, as social skills and intellect of young ones begin to develop before they commence elementary school
and parents spend more time
with their children to influence their developments
.
Suggestion
development
First
of all, intelligence and social skills of young ones begin to develop from infancy. Children neurological abilities determine their intellects and social developments which can be affected by their nutrition and care parents give to them at the early age. For instance
, infants who are well nourished with adequate parental bonding are expected to be intelligent and have skills needed for social interactions, although
, they need some inputs from their teachers as well. Therefore
, if parents do not provide the necessary care for their kids, school
teachers would not be able to instruct them.
Furthermore
, children spend more time
with their parents than the teachers and they can be easily influenced by them. Children's interactions with their parents begin right after birth and even when children start schooling, they spend a smaller proportion of their time
with teachers. For example
, in Nigeria, primary school
pupils spend an average of seven hours daily at school
, while they stay with their parents for more than half of the day. Thus
, parents have more opportunities to impact on the intelligience
and social developments of their offsprings compared to their teachers.
In conclusion, I disagree with the view that teachers have more influence on the ability to comprehend; to understand and profit from experience
intelligence
school
children's intelligence and social development than their parents. This
is due to the fact that children's intellect and social interactions start before commencing school
and they spend a considerable proportion of time
daily with their parents.Submitted by Kenny on
