Why are teachers as important as parents?

Because they spend so much time with the students. They are a huge part of children’s lives. They are so influential in the development of knowledge and personality and confidence and social skills.

If you are reading this right now, chances are it is because a teacher taught you how to read- that’s a pretty special and important thing.

Teachers are guides and role models. They are a source of encouragement and pull you in to line when its needed. All these things are also done by a parent. So it seems that in many ways the roles are similar. Now days more than ever teachers are also responsible for basic things that parents SHOULD be responsible for- for example manners, tieing shoe laces, social skills, honesty. Especially in the very early years of school.

Teachers are vital- without them the parents would have nobody to blame when their kids are naughty and would have nobody to teach those same kids how to add.
