My motto is : in order to be a good teacher , tell your students to do one only thing shut up and study , study and shut up If someone wastes his time trying to convince people his ideas work whereas the ideas of the other teachers don't, that man/woman is not a teacher He's a dictator I've always hated late robin Williams anyway

Having taught English for 43 years, I have stood in the place Robin William's character has. Some days you look out over the herds of kids that pass before you and you cry for them. As a teacher who put his heart and soul into what I did, I tried to make impressions help them master life skills. The sad reality is that one does one's best to crack the numbers game. Every year we have a few of those students who we try to embrace and find the right direction for them, but we are so hamstrung. The first thing I thought when evaluating this film is the little group of kids that he dealt with. He got to know each of them intimately. Of course, it's a prep school, but even then he should have had a couple other full classrooms. What he does is admirable and exciting. That he throws himself into his work to such an extent is amazing. But let's face it. This is a formulaic film that has been done many times before. It is monument building and flying in the face of establishment whose soul purpose is to ruin these kids' lives. There's a kind of narcissism to think that in this group we have bunch of directionless idiots who could never think for themselves. It sends a positive message but the population is carefully put together to send that message. It's just not real.

This film, which inspired and changed the lives of many, gives us a story: about the English professor John Keating (Robin Williams) In a boarding school, the Wilton Academy, where the students are studying, the professor enters the life of the Academy studentsTo inspire them to love life and change their lives forever, when it makes them think in a different unconventional way and with a lot of rebellion. The film contains a collection of beautiful poetry quotations .. Including the quote from a poem by the English poet Robert Helek: "Gather the buds as long as you can, the old time is still flying, and the same flower that smiles today will die tomorrow" The film also contains a lot of wonderful ideas .. Of which the professor said to his students: "We do not read and do not write poetry because it is funny, we read and write poetry because we are members of the human race, and the human race is full of emotion. Medicine, law, business administration, engineering .. is a noble and important character in order to preserve life But poetry is beauty, romance, love, these are the things we live for. " And the beautiful film also: That he knows them on the slogan "Carpi Diem," which is Latin means "nest your day"And teaches them how to "extract the essence of life" from every moment, how to think for themselves and choose their own wayEven if he is uneducated or strange, to have the courage to defend their ideas and beliefs, to face the power that is trying to paintTheir way and their future without any consideration for their feelings and emotions.
