Toefl Essay

Question: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Getting good teachers is more fortunate than getting good parents. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

I agree with the statement.

Every child when born gets good parents for them. However they are behaving to others in life every parent will love and care their child is an illicit law of universe, ofcourse there are some anomali and we are not for talking about them.

On the other hand every kid who grows is not able to get good teachers for their improvement. Almost all the children get moulded quickly and tractably in the schools. Because the teachers don't mollicoddle the children when they do the right things or abuse them when they do wrong. They are trained and mature enough to treat them to positively mould their thoughts for their bright future.

Good teachers know when to control or to praise them.

If any student is inchoating to do a peccadillo, if he have a good teacher, the teacher will control him by making him to feel the wrong about the behaviour, without hurting or punishing him.

This is a real example I have seen in my life. One of my friends was to attend a dance practice for the Christmas function. All of us have a test that afternoon. He didint read a single word for the test the day before. We adviced him to ask permission from the teacher to do the test the next day. As he is a above average student he dont want to postpone the test. During the test he was caught by our teacher as he copied from book. The teacher doesnt say anything and simply tared the page and said marks for this test is not considered for the exams. If you want you can redo this test tommorrow. If she had thought she could have punished him severely but she left the room quietly. He felt guilty and started to study. Thereafter he never done anything wrong. Our friend secured the class's first mark in the following months and rest of our school days. Still he remembers the memory of our teacher reverent sister Joseph.

On the other hand some immature teachers are also there who get irritated by the mischief done by the active children. They ruin the young children by sarcasting them and make them gloomy and the soon the childern gets incorridgeble.

Concludingly if we carefully revise the lives of every sucessful personality he or she would have gotten atleast a best memorable teacher as godfather or a mother angel.

So it is important to a child to get a good teacher than to get good parents.

Have a nice day.
