How to educate?

How to educate? Maybe we can change to another saying---how to help people pass the life-long tests? When we are children answer to it is easy, just get a high score in every test. But when people growing up, the situation become complex. How to define "the high score", a promotion or a happy life? And this criticism also turn back to the score that got in our school period. So what is a good teacher? we always get a unsaticfied feedback.
And how to be a good teacher? When I saw the film "the history boys", the question was knocking at me all the time. Frankly, I was suffering about that. Reasonaly, I know Irwin is better. If I was a headmaster, obviously, I will pick up the later, who is wise, knowing the test rules, handsome and easy-understood. As one of his students said, they know well what should to do in his class. But in some sense I like Hector more, even he was a homesexual. He is a deeper person who broke the ethnicl rule between students and teachers, he teach his boys to be a human being by dramtic practise(such as music, poems, fictions), he set an account for everybody and let them to be a shareholder in litertry world. Some day these boy are very old and memory what happen to them, Hector will be their spirit mentor, like "my capital". So those boys in that drama are so lucky ,they had the combination of two different teach-philosophy. In reality we need to balance what we should do for the long term and the shorter term.
At the students' position, to feel themselves or to obey others place them in a dilemma. It is a question that have not an easy and right answer. That always relay on why they need education and what they want in their life. The need always varies, so it is hard if make them decided their own choice. So for a peurile child listen to others is easier and less suffering. And for a strong self-awareness child, he/she may hope to hold themsleves. Basicly, there is a process, so different children have different stage which need are different,even who are same age.
So understanding is the most important things. Before complaining, teachers have to know the difference between each student,and student have to learn know more about themsleves to decide what is suitable, that is not that someone else say right or wrong but that they feel. If ruin a clock isnt happy to you, dont do that even your parents think it as a sign of brightness.
Hold the power of doing something , but dont forget another right of not doing something. To teach people know how to make a choice.
That's all I learned from several films, good will hunting, dead poets society, the history boys.
