This essay will be about the movie Dead Poets Society and the rules which are imposed by the teacher Mr. Keating and also how the teachers deal with students who break the rules. In the movie we can see that the teacher is a hero to his students, the teacher uses different types of methods and applies different rules to which the school applies, this in a sense is very important as one must be aware of the context in which they are teaching. The rules applied in this movie may seem to show that Mr. Keating is a very good teacher, but as the context is not appropriate for his teaching methods it portrays him as being a bad teacher.

Stress can affect children in many positive and negative ways. Although for high school pupils, stress that is created by overloads of homework is never a positive aspect to have in life.
