Is parenting or teaching a simple matter?

Question

Is parenting or teaching a simple matter?

Answer 1

You cannot be serious.......

Answer 2

Neither is simple. You have to learn how to do each.

Answer 3

No indeed! Both are difficult and costly to the one doing the parenting/teaching. I have enormous respect for good parents and true teachers. By true teachers I mean those who have a real vocation for teaching, a real gift. I know 2 "real" teachers and they are amazing people who can make a good, informative lesson out of almost nothing.

Parents are doing an impossible job in an impossible world, and those who do a good job are to be admired.

Answer 4

Teaching is what a parent does from the day their children are born.

Children do not come with instruction booklets, but teaching past basic parenting is simple, and natural.

Both are a learned skill, and a parent has many years of continual on the job training.

Parents who decide to teach, "home school" simply look at teaching as adding academics to their daily routine as the children are ready to handle these.

Is it simple; no, worth it, yes absolutely.

We are all a work in progress :D

Answer 5

A big fat NO. You can't just take it easy for the future of your kids lies on your hands on how you deal with them. If you are a parent you are forever a teacher. If you are a teacher you are forever the second to mold a person.
