Dead Poet's Society Day 1.

I was really excited for this movie because ive never seen this movie before.
NOTES:
I do see that the whole class is white, and there is no diversity in their class.
Carpe Diem means Seize the day. the teacher talks about it during class. He plays on this statement during the class.
They use the textbooks alot more in this maovie than they did with the Stand and Deliver movie.
The teacher tells the kids to rip the pages out of their textbook. They rip out the whole introduction, which of course, goes well with the students, they are happy to rip their textbooks. uh oh the dean came in and thought the kids were running wild, but when he saw the teacher, he quickly withdrew his statement and withdrew hisself from interrupting the class.


The teaching styles are VERY different than those of stand and deliver. well maybe not the teaching styles so much as the teaching environment. like i said in my notes, this is a predominately white school and they are much more disciplined than the students were in stand and deliver. Also they are much more willing to learn. The teachers in both movies have a passion for doing what they do, so they both found ways o get their students excited about what they are learning about, and in this movie's case it is about poetry.
