Writing task 2: EDUCATION

Nowadays, it is argued that teachers might exert more influence on young students' intellectual abilities and social growth and parents cannot do those. Although teachers play an important role in students' intelligence, kids are more affected in social and behavioral development.

On the one hand, it is undeniable to the influence of teachers on children's learning abilities. as teachers are those with in-depth pedagogical knowledge, they know how to cope with students of difficult abilities and create the most suitable learning environment. For example, teachers are experienced in not only creating educational activities such as teamwork or group work but also knowing how to apply effective teaching methods for students' learning process, which helps them improve their knowledge. Meanwhile, parents are unlikely to do this job.

On the other hand, there is a significant impact on boys' and girls' behavioral development from parents. First, since kids spend most of their time beside parents, they are likely to mimic the behaviors of those who are close to them on the common way to learn new things to follow them until school age. Second, as parents can make decisions on whether or not letting kids take part in outdoor or extracurricular activities, which offer them many opportunities to make new friends and improve their humane behaviors. For this reason, it is believed parents have a certain influence on children's social growth.

In conclusion, although teachers have a great impact on young students' learning abilities, kids' social and behavioral development are more affected by parents.
