Why do some people believe parents are better prepared to educate their children than professional educators and teachers, especially given how knowledge increases as time moves forward?

Parents are the children’s first teachers. Parents who are mindful and have the emotional intelligence to respond appropriately (and not spoil or ignore) their children’s learning needs can be better equipped than the teachers.

As time moves forward we are seeing the shift in education where teachers are not the main source of knowledge as it stands (thanks in part to instant access to knowledge from Google or ChatGPT) but more as the interpreter of knowledge to show students how to fact check and or make that knowledge authentic to themselves so they can reap the benefits while learning.

In the instances where parents can do it better than the teachers then both teachers and parents need to work together and not against each other to the benefit of the children.

in the end every generation should work to make the next one full of individuals society needs to prosper.
