Band 7

Parents should spend more time with their children helping them with their homework. Do you agree or disagree?

#parents #time #children #homework
People argue that
children
 should be supported in doing home-exercising by their
parents
. I disagree with
this
 statement because of the inequivalence of qualifications between
parents
 and
kids
 and the negative impacts caused by learning with
parents
. Some
parents
 do not have the equivalent knowledge to teach their
children
. Some
parents
 who only finished secondary school at a low level of general education may get embarrassed in front of their
children
 when they are doing difficult exercises.
Therefore
, they might feel negative because they are even not as good as a young student.
For example
, English at the current time is far more complicated compared to English in the past. Those
parents
 born in the 1990s can not teach their
children
 how to get high scores in speaking and writing English. So normally they will let teachers who specialise in language help them.
Children
 may get negative impacts from their
parents
while
 doing their exercises at home.
Firstly
, some
children
 are slower learners, they are not able to understand after one or two times of explanations from
parents
.
Then
,
parents
 become impatient and start thinking their
kids
 are stupid and compare them with other
kids
 who can learn fast.
This
 may lead to mental health problems for the
kids
. Being underestimated after a long time period,
as a result
,
children
 will reduce confidence in themselves and feel stressed. In consequence, they limit themselves to interacting with the outside world. In conclusion, there are many ways for
parents
 to express love to their
children
, but
parents
 should not spend time teaching them to learn. Because
parents
 are not educated at the same level as
children
 and
also
 to avoid the bad mental impact on their
children
.
