Differences between Mr. Keating and Mr. Escalantes 10-30-13 from group discussion
They are similar and different.
Mr. Keating is teaching at a Boys Prep School in New England, time period is the 1950's,
Mr. Escalantes is teaching at an Urban School in LA, time period is 1980's.
They both use illustrations in their classroom to get the attention of their students. For example:
Mr. Escalantes dressed in a chef outfit and cut apples in different sizes for the students to try and figure out what percentage they were.
Mr.Keating took students out in crossway to look at past pictures of students and picturing the "dead students" to what is in the future.
Mr. Escalantes method of teaching was more of using student language, coming from their point of view.
Mr. Keating pulls students toward his way of thinking and drawing them to picture higher / different thoughts.
The economic status of both schools were at different ends of the spectrum. Mr. Escalantes class was mostly student where parents were working hard and long hours just to make a living.
Mr. Keating students were expected to go on to law, medical schools from their parents (who wasn't interested in them, but in status).
