Paper #2: Teachers, A comparison. Thesis statement. (draft)

This is a comparison of Mr. Keating and Mr. Escalante.
I originally believed that Mr. Keating is the better teacher because he works continually works to bring up the students to his level without causing undue stress on the students. In the following paper I will examine the differences between the teachers and explain why I think that Mr. Keating may be the better teacher.


     To begin with Mr. Keating and Mr. Escalante came from two different cultures.  Mr. Keating although maybe not well off, his family had enough money to send him to a private boarding school "Welton Academy" a boys preparatory school to prepare for college. Private school gives the opportunity to focus on school work thereby giving students a chance to excel.  Mr. Keating being an alumnus of the school is accepted by the staff at first. Mr. Keating comes to the school to teach English. Mr. Escalante comes from Bolivia and was poor growing up, me makes a comment in the film that he washed dishes when he first came in to the United States. Mr. Escalante comes to teach computer science however there are no computers in the school so he is assigned by the math dept chair to teach math.
