Who had/has more influence in your life, your parents or your teachers?

Answer 1

My parents have more influence in my life. When I was a kid my parents treated me like a grown up. They gave me advice I never understood when I was five years old. They would tell me stories of success, and how I could also be successful someday when I was still seven. My dad gave me a lot of advice about life and how to become a really succesful businessman someday, while my mom was always there to help me develop my values and morals.

Some of the teachers that I have had have also influenced me greatly. There are a lot teachers who would just lecture from the book - and I hate teachers who are like that - teachers who have been drugged by the commercialization of education; teachers who don't care whether or not their students are learning so long as they get their weekly paycheck! The few teachers who have made a great impact in my life, on the other hand, taught me that learning transcends the four walls of the classroom. They taught me to voice out my ideas and to foster my individuality.

Both my parents and teachers are a great influence to who I am today. My parents were responsible for my character development. They also taught me the importance of setting high goals for myself - and the importance of always reminding myself to go in the right direction. I also credit my dad for my demanding character, leadership skills, and my highly competitive spirit. My teachers, on the other hand, were the ones who taught me how to think! How to understand, and how to develop self expression. My parents had greater influence, but still - I wouldnt be as good as I am today without having known my teachers.

My Parents

Answer 5

Neither, I would have to say my Brothers and my Sister tied with my Best friend who is now my husband . I will make sure my child has the best of both worlds. I want us to be his greatest influence as well as his Teachers , That is why it is very important for parents to be involved with their childrens lives at school.

Answer 6

Parents. Teachers teach kids at school but parents teach their children from the day they are born. Parents do sooo much for their children out of love not a pay check.

Answer 7

Both of them,teachers taught me many thing I 'd never been taught by my parents,so teachers are more influence too.

Answer 8

Parents, easily. I've learned 90% of how to be a human being from my dad. I'd hate to think some people have learned more from teachers than their own parents.

Answer 9

My parents. They have always been there for me no matter what the situation and they care way more than a teacher ever could or would.

Answer 10

Definitely my parents. Teachers never really paid much attention to me...of course, we moved around (and I mean to another country!) so much, I had new teachers every couple of years.
