The writer talked about the influence of having high education on the relationship with parents, which I can’t agree with. I feel surprised that writer feels shamed and sad with the low education of his parents. It’s certain that our parents didn’t have education as high as ours, and they personal perspective sometimes can’t catch the trend of society. While as their children, we should pay understanding instead of prejudice, because what parents have experienced is different from us. It’s hard to image that when they are young what they are worried about is how to survive in the hard time; fever people at that time can pay all attention on having education. Compared to us, from we are born, parents have create the high living standard for us, what we should do is just to fulfill our life better, education is the thing that we must accept. While education is not just from the books, sometimes life experience is more crucial for a person’s life. Life experience can’t be easily gained from school education. Although parents didn’t have much knowledge from school, they have a lot of life experience that is more important for a person’s life. Since we have learned a lot of technological knowledge from school, parents are still qualified to be a good teacher.

"Without my family I would be nothing"
This is the title of one of my previous Eng2F student's essay. It will also win a prize in this writing competition for international students.
Only through the title, you can imagine what the writer has written in the essay.
Family is such an important part of one's life, in which parents are the pillars. Their love is the best education to us. To know how to love children is the highest education parents should have. It doesn't depend on what degree they obtained or what school they graduated.
The way they shed their love onto their child educates the child and turns the child into a real person.
If you can feel your parents' love, you will have all kinds of ways to communicate with them, maybe not in academic field any more as you receive more education, but definitely in any other aspect of life.
I agree with you, no reason to feel ashamed at your parents' lack of education. They are always the best teachers in your life.
