To Sir, with Love and, Harry Potter: The Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K. Rowling presents two very different types of education. The former is a traditional one, and the latter is imaginary.
The education in the movie consists of life lessons and corporal punishment. On the other hand, Harry Potter studies magic as a wizard. Nevertheless, students from education can get the same thing out of it. For example, the students in To Sir, with Love don’t get along with Thakeray at first, but at the end they realize that he truly cares about them and want the best for them. Similarly, Harry Potter hates Sirius Black for killing and betraying his parents. Later he finds out that he is innocent, he respects him. Through this he learns to forgive.
Furthermore, students receive help from an advisor that their students behaviors in both education. In the movie, Thackeray breaks up the fight between a student and a gym teacher. He teaches the student how to be an adult. In Harry Potter, professor Lupin aids Harry along the way avoiding troubles and teaching him new skills.
Although the two education seems very different, they may bring similar outcomes. Through the lense of Harry Potter, I see a person can also grow mentally in unreal situations like a magic school.
