Two well-written sentences & "Best Practice"

I was never allowed to have a dog as a child; my parents didn't trust me to take care of one.

My all time favorite poet is Charles Bukowski, however, I consider myself very partial to Pablo Neruda and Jim Carroll as well.

As for "best practice," i'm really not entirely sure what is meant by this...if I take the two words separately and combine both of their respective meanings, it would lead me to believe that it means the highest level of training for something specific. In regards to a writing classroom, however, i'm not sure exactly where this concept would apply...I feel like it could apply to everything, which leads me to believe that my innitial assessment of the meaning of the phrase is probably wrong.
