Do you TEACH or do you EDUCATE?

Do you teach or do you educate? This is a question that a lot of people asked to the teachers of the world.

Most people doesn't know the differences between teach and educate, they use them as synonyms, but there are several differences among them.

First we will define both concepts:

Teach is "Impart knowledge to or instruct (someone) as to how to do something". While educate is "Give intellectual, moral, and social instruction to (someone), typically at a school or university". 

Here in Chile and in other parts of the world, the teachers usually teach us the contents about a specific matter, but who can blame them? Just since the last century, the educational world has entered in a change process. The postulate of a paradigm which put the student as center of the educational process is a very huge change, and even that have passed around 60 years since this appear, the educational process hasn't change.

The principal difference between both concepts is:
- Anyone can teach if you know (how to do) something, you just impart your knowledge to someone;

 - Educate usually is a process that occur in house and in the educational center. In home, the parents have to educate with any kind of dogma to their children, I mean that the have to give some moral and social education for their correct behavior. While at the educational center is the art of give the information in function to make the students learn.
