Parents are the best teachers.

To start with, being a teachre presupposes "education". We have to classify the "education" here into two categories: school and home. Each place has its own objective. School has , as its original aim, the perfectly curriculumized formal education. Home, on the other hand, does not have any systematized scheme and it should not.

School are required to give the students formal and group education including group discipline teaching how we should act inside a group. Social welfare is also targeted in school education, too.

At home, though, a child or children are dealt with by their parents as an "individual".  The term "deal with" might be a wrong expression. They must be "associated with" by the parents as independent existence.

Real education begins with individual affectionate training to each child starting with "toilet training" by the mother. Starting with those basic survival training as a human being, a child will go through many phases of preparation for an matured adult within around 15 years after the baby's birth.

Parents must be the right persons to discipline and train and teach and develop their children. This is the reason why "Parents are the best teachers".

Teachers at school cannot, no matter hard they may try, be such an multiple "actors" towards the students.

To conclude, it should be pointed out that teachers at school "teach", and parents at home "develop".
This might be the biggest difference.
