Hi there! I used this website's translator and got the conjugation of educar for you:

You used the correct tense but Please, see LuisCache's answer and check the link to choose which is the good one for tú and ellos.

Hola amigo. Thanks.. :) - rac1, Apr 26, 2016

Answer 3

Both "hubieras educado" and "educaras" are the suggestions given in the comments and "educara" is the conjugation you came up with on your own. All of these are in the Past Subjunctive (with the hubiera example being the Perfect Past Subjunctive) which is the correct conjugation to go with the conditional that is in the latter part of the sentence. ¡Buen trabajo! My personal preference would be to agree with RelaxingCub and just use educar instead of haber + a participle. Just double check that you put it in the tú form!
