When I was a student, there always seemed to be a "bad student" in the class. It was he who passed the note in class, it was he who pulled the girl's hair, it was he who resisted the teacher, and it was he who often fought and fought. A Childhood That Can't Fly is a Cuban film released in 2014. The film focuses on a rebellious "bad student", from the three perspectives of school, family and society, the audience can see how difficult it is to cultivate an "excellent student" through the picture.

For a long time, society has entrusted the profession of teachers with an extremely heavy responsibility, not only to impart knowledge, but also to guide the three views. This has also caused some parents to have reasons to evade the responsibility of educating their children, and even think that sending their children to school will be "all right".
In "A Childhood That Can't Fly," eleven-year-old Chala is a sixth-grader who lives with a single mother who is addicted to drugs. My mother had no job and was often drunk until late at night before returning home. Although Chala was young, he had already taken on the responsibility of earning money to support his family. He earned some pocket money by raising pigeons and subsidized his family by training war dogs. This family environment and means of livelihood make him a teenager and a violent temperament, and he is a "bad student" in the eyes of his classmates and teachers.
A student has been living in a family for many years before entering the school. Parents are the earliest teachers of all words and deeds in children's lives, and after that, children's performance in school will be affected by the family. This situation is basically happening every day, a student's day, leaving home to go to school, and then returning home from school, so the student's "teacher" is actually a professional teacher in the school and a parent teacher in the family.
Chala has friends at school and a teacher she likes. He may not have had outstanding grades and some out-of-line behavior, but he can be corrected through education and guidance. This kind of correction must go through a long period of strict requirements, and if there is no one to supervise during the time away from school, can a child like Chala be able to self-discipline? After school, this part of the responsibility must be shouldered by responsible parents. Unfortunately, Chala didn't, so his problems were getting worse.
This is why some teachers need to hold parent-teacher conferences and even meet with parents individually to talk about their children's education. If you want to solve some potential bad problems that children have, it is impossible to rely only on the teacher's classroom preaching, and only the joint action of the family and the school can make the child correct the problem as soon as possible.

If the student is only in school and at home, then no matter how bad these two places are, he is still protected to some extent, and he is exposed to people and things that are pure and good. But families are in society, and parents' interpersonal interactions and ways of doing things have a profound impact on growing students.
Chala didn't know who his father was, and the upstairs of his house was a place for dog fighting and gambling. There was a man inside who could be his father, and When Chala asked if he was his biological father, the man said he didn't know. His father's love is missing, his mother is unable to take care of him, and he can only barely maintain the family if he is strong.
When she wasn't at school, Chala mostly didn't come home. He would stand alone on the roof of the building to train his pigeons, sometimes along train tracks or in the streets. Neither his teacher nor his friends liked him training war dogs, but he couldn't give up, it was the way he and his mother lived. The people at the school thought he had been taught badly by the gamblers upstairs, but he was just trying to survive. He knew what to learn and what not to learn, and the man who might have been his father didn't admit it, but had been secretly taking care of him.
Chala hid her mother's drugs after a gas attack, which led to her nearly dying and forced drug rehabilitation. If the mother succeeds in drug rehabilitation, perhaps Chala's life will be better later. But she failed, secretly ran home, and chose to give up and escape like a child. Chala knew that his mother's drug use was just to avoid responsibility and cruel realities, and he looked at his tired mother and finally said nothing.
The young Chala was like a quagmire, and no matter how hard he struggled, he could not break free cleanly and easily. He could not abandon his mother, nor could he continue to train war dogs, and he did not have the deep and selfless love from his parents. Because he was not old enough, he could not find a job even if he dropped out of school. In this dirty society, he has to learn to survive, and all he can do is try to make himself not too bad.

Chala has a favorite teacher at school, her name is Camilla. Camilla was long overdue for retirement, but has been teaching. When the school decided to send Chala to a labor camp, Camilla argued that her stubbornness angered many teachers, caused a lot of dissatisfaction, and was even forced to retire. At the final meeting, Camilla put it this way:
"When educating children, you need 4 things: home, school, strictness and love. But when you go out of school, you have to face the social situation. As a teacher, you need to know that something is waiting for them outside. Life used to be much simpler than it is now, and I knew exactly what to prepare for my students, but now, I only know one thing, and that is not to prepare anything for them. "
Camilla has a wealth of teaching experience, she has seen too many students like Chala, and she knows that once sent to a labor camp, it may mean that Chala will never be able to go on a normal path in life.
If you want a juvenile offender, treat him the same way you would treat him.
On the question of how to educate children, it seems that there has been no conclusion. In family education, there are forms such as tiger mother and cat father, appreciation education, doting education and negative education. There are also forms of liberal education, nature education, and professional education in schools. But no education, no matter what kind of education, does not say that children should be guided on the road of "juvenile delinquency".
Behind Chala's series of bad behaviors is a cruel reality that he has no choice but to solve, and if the school chooses to abandon him at this time and transfer him to a labor camp, it will push him into the abyss in his already very unfortunate life. These are definitely not things that teachers should do.
The teacher should light a bright light in the student's life, illuminating not only knowledge, but also direction.
What is a "good student"? Maybe he should be outstanding. However, the meaning of education in the first place was not to get a high score. I think that as long as education can make a person think, not ignorant, not to do evil, then the student can become a "good student."
To cultivate a good student, you must not rely on the teacher alone, and the family and society are also key factors. For example, there is a line in the recent hit movie "Manslaughter": "Some children are children, some children are beasts", the teenager Sucha has fallen step by step on the road of evil, which is inseparable from his derelict parents and the society where the rich and the poor are disparity and abuse of public power.
