school, it will probably take 17 years until university graduation. During these seventeen years, children, after one point adolescents, will spend most of their year with their children and with their friends than their parents. Since children spend more

with the teachers, their
impact
on kids' intellectual and social development will be more.
Firstly
; if the age of a child is taken into consideration who has just started to school, children at that ages tend to navigate everything in the environment. They observe their teachers' behaviours, their ways of drinking water, their ways of walking and so on. During a day, children and teacher spend at least 4-5 hour together and
this
point is enough for a child to observe the environment. So, the teachers' behaviour and their social and intellectual ideas will
impact
children more than their parent who spends nearly 1-2 hours with the children if they are lucky.
Secondly
, teachers are idols for most of the children since teachers look like they know everything and they are different from everybody in the eyes of students. Like a mirror, children start to behave like their teachers.
For example
, if a teacher drinks water 3 times a day, the student will start to drink at the same with the teacher.
However
, at home, they generally do not follow their parents and they do not behave like them since they see nothing different. All in all, since teachers seem different from everybody and they do not look like an ordinary person, they have more
impact
on students.
Finally
, as a conclusion, students spend more
time
with their teachers rather than their parents. So, it is inevitable that teachers have more influence on students. Teachers' intellectual level will

the students' intellectual level at the end of the day. So,
