Do you agree or disagree:classmates are a more important influence than parents on a child's success in school.

 

----------------------------------------

 

It has been more and more important that how a child can be sucessful in school. So whether classmates influence more profoundly than parents is an intriguing topic.Most likely inasmuch as it is not a simple problem for a multitude of people hold different ideas due to their distinct experinces and backgrouds.It is controversial to argue that classmates only have adverse effects on a child.There are a host of persuasive reasons,now I I will explore a few of crucial ones in details.

 

First of all, no issue is more important than the one refers to academic performance. Facts witness and present a massive number of examples. If a child fails to one examination,he or she will feel extremely mournful and unconfident. At that moment, he or she will receive confidence and feel happy again,as long as he or she attain his or her classmates'courage. In my memory,I got a very low-mark in one of my mid exams, at that time I almost have lost any confidence to go on studying. Fortunately, one of my classmates told me that it was common for students to fail to several exams, the most important is whether we could beat the frustration that we were facing and stick it out. I regard this one as the most direct example to demonstrate my view.

 

In the second place, as no doubt, it is necessary for students to erect their capability of cooperation. For instance, students will know the importance of helping each other. And how important he or she is in a collectivity through some sports matches. I still remembered that when I was in middle school, how my class won a basketball competition.It depended on everyone's effort of my class. If I lost the ball, it was next to impossible for others to blame me. It was manifest that we would be defeated without cooperation.

 

In addition, superior as classmates are, as a matter of fact, it is the other way around, there is no denying that classmates might cause some demerits. To give a demonstration, if the relationship between classmates is very unfavorable, it is possible for them to do some impolite behavīors, such as fighting, making spiteful remarks about others and so forth. Nevertheless,the advantages of classmates'influence carry more weight than that of disadvantages.

 

In conclusion, children are more likely to allow themselves to be influenced by their classmates than parents. In respect that some children suppose their classmates'views are more modern and their parents are too traditional.

You didn't do this one quite right...

First, you should clearly tell the examiner that PEER pressure is a more important factor than the influence of the parents in terms of a child's sucess in school..

your first arguement point is "no issue is more important than the one refers to academic performance. "

Oh, you need to remember who is marking your work...a western teacher will think what you just said is very narrow...

Because in our school, academic achievement is not more important than a overal development of a child....in NZ, if you get 5A, but no one likes you in Class...you are noboday!!!

You should explain why classmates/friends can affect a child more than his parents..

Firstly, children normally more accept friends' suggestions than their parents.(this is an issue of peer pressure..)

Secondly, children prefer tostay with friends more often than thier parents...


However, there are exceptions. Many children are following and have followed their parents' footprints. For example, it is often seen that a doctor's son will become a doctor in future. In this case, the son definitely has been more influenced by his parent.

To conclude, bla bla bla...
