Questions about Mr. Keating and Mr. Escalante

  1. What did Mr. Escalante think education should do?                                                                             I believe he thought that education should be something that helped students to become better people, when they were done with his class. He also wanted them to know that they could do it if they just put their minds to it.
  2. What did Mr. Escalante's colleagues think education should do?                                                           I think they thought of it as a job and not something that could help people especially the ones that were "troubled" I don't think they wanted to be there or that they wanted to help them to become something more in life.
  3. What did Mr. Keating think education should do?                                                                               I think he thought a lot like Mr. Escalante when it came to the education that he was trying to give to the students he was teaching.
  4. What did Mr. Keating's colleagues think education should do?                                                             I think they were all about teaching the students but in a very strict and down to the point kind of way they did not want education to be different from student to student they wanted them all to do and be the same as they were when they were young.
  5. What do you think your favorite teacher thought education should do?                                                 I think he thought that he should be there for the students and that education does not have to be do cut and dry. He made it fun and related it to what was really going on in life not just what happened in the past but in the present.
  6. What do you think your worst teacher thought education should do?                                                    I think they are there for the pay check and not because they want to be a teacher. I also think that they don't think that students are important.
