boring boring boring, all of the teachers are boring. All of the old teachers have a hive mind on how things should be done. This not only fails on a teaching stand point but it also does not get them ready for the "real world" this form of teaching teaches kids that the world works in one way and one way only, it always conforms to what you say and has a set way of things that never changes. When in reality the world is constantly changing and never follows the same rules. It also leaves a big gap of what happens in college. All of the students are sheltered to the point where they do not know anything outside of following rules. These student will fall pray to partying and may drop out due to the lack of knowledge they have about the real world.
Mr. Keating's introduces a totally new way of teaching to the kids. He chooses to inspire the students not threaten them. He is funny, he goes to extreme extents to prove that words matter. He defends his teachings. He encourages students to leave their comfort zones. The principle sacrifices the students thinking for themselves for his own form of teaching. His love for teaching he teaches the actor. A teacher should not just be a teacher, but a mentor and a leader as well. Teaching is not just about jamming information into students minds but about letting them experience what learning is.
