The two teachers I'm writing about
For my first paper I'm going to be writing about my teacher Mr. Mosby and Mr. Keating from Dead Poet's Society. I wanted to use a teacher from my personal experience and from one of the movies. I chose these two because I love my teacher Mr. Mosby. He's great and he always gets me to learn. I've had him twice so I know him pretty well making it pretty easy to write about. Mr. Keating made me laugh countless times and I loved watching the movie because of him. He has many of the same teaching aspects as Mr. Mosby so it should be easy to compare the two. These two educators teach in two completely different time periods, so they have different mind sets and views on what children, or teenagers in this case, should be. Keating teaches in a time of transition between the kids' parents and authorities thinking for them to a time of free thinking and kids making their own decisions. Mosby is already in this time, in fact he grew up in this time and is deep into the twenty first century where the struggles are not of whether the kids are thinking for themselves enough or not, its if they are thinking for themselves too much and causing them to disrespect the thoughts of their authorities in the process instead.
