【正确答案】：Family education is even more important than formal school education, for parents spend the most time with their children and should have the best chance to educate their children.
On the one hand, parents can be the best teachers of their children. They are the ones who witness the growth of their children and who know their children best. With a good knowledge of the children’s personality, strengths and weaknesses, parents can design a tailored plan for their children’s development, which is quite impossible for school education. On the other hand, parents’ behavior may have a deep impact on their children. It is not hard to find parents’ attitude, personality and behavior in their children. A violent parent and stressful family atmosphere is quite likely to produce a violent child.
Therefore, family education is the most fundamental to a person’s development. (141 words)
