Are classmates a more important influence to a child than
parents?
I strongly disagree that classmates are a more important influence
than parents on a child`s success in school. I would like to say,
there is no substitution for parents. They could teach their children
how to tell right from wrong, and set the best model for children.
At first, I think the parent`s function of
udgment?can never be
substituted. In my opinion, family school is like a small society,
where children learn how to socialize themselves. However,
children would not know how to behave accurately by the imitation
or competition of their peer group. They might learn something
inappropriate, which they cannot judge by their own, and that is the
main function of family.
Second, I believe that parents are always the best model. In most of
families, the parents know their own duty--they should be
responsible for the whole society, and then they will try to treat their
children correctly. Nevertheless, the students in school are not. They
just like different shapes of clay, needing to be educated. If your
child learns how to behave according to what their classmates do,
they will never know the correct way.
I will not deny the importance of child`s classmates at school.
However, they cannot always point out the correct direction for their
friend. The function of family could never be replaced. Our parents
play a very significant role in out initial learning, how to behave, and
where is the model to follow, which our classmates could not do
exactly.
