Mr. Keating, the new english teacher at Welton Academy, has completely different teaching methods compared to the teaching methods of all the other teachers at that school and especially a very different teaching philosophy compared to the Welton Academy education philosophy.
Mr. Keating wants that the boys grow psychologically and expand their way of their expression towards love and poetry. He wants to "create" creative and philosophic men out of the boys, who know how impress people by the magic of their words. He teaches the boys to have fun and to be free souls and that nobody and nothing should restrict their freedom and dreams or what they want to become and what not.
Hence he teaches them in one lesson, when he let the students rip out the introduction of their books because in his eyes, the introduction of the author is not right and everybody has to make his own opinion on the book, to be an individual person instead of a follower of all that, what the others say to them.
He just teaches them the basic idea of expression, free thinking, trying to release the emotions the boys have and to look at the world from a different perspective, like they want it to be and to "Seize the day", just taught by standing on a desk.
All of Mr. Keating teaching methods break with Welton's philosophy and not everybody likes them, because his methods are very unorthodox to reach out to his students and with that he makes the boys criticize their education by their parents and their school.
Welton Academy's 'old' guiding principles (Honor, Discipline, Excellence and Tradition) do not match to the new methods of Keating and how to understand the world by his teaching methods. He changes a lot at this school, although Welton Academy doesn't like a change and is completely against it because of it's tradition.
The biggest difference between his teaching methods and the teaching methods of the other, mostly traditional teachers at Welton Academy is, that when a student doesn't know the correct answer to the question, he doesn't embarrasses him, he works with the student until he understands and knows the correct answer and that makes the students more interested in their work and it let them feel more comfortable.
How I already wrote, not every student likes the way Mr. Keating teaches and so they react differently to his methods of teaching.
On the one hand there's a big amount of students who like his methods because they make them feel comfortable and not fearful, not like having no self-confidence and especially not like making no decisions on their own.
However there are also a few students who don't like Mr. Keating's teaching methods, because they don't want to break any rules of the school system, are afraid of a change or because they don't want to contradict their parents or their teachers/ head teacher.
