Welton vs Garfield

The schools of Stand and Deliver and Dead Poets Society. In the entry where I compared Escalante and Keating I said that their different teaching styles were liky the effect of wthe environment in which they teach.  They're both loved, they're both good teachers, but they both do the opposite of the norm for where they tech. Welton academy from stand and deliver is very elitist and uptight, it's led with an iron fist, and it's expected that everyone follow the rules constantly and to the letter. There's loads of work and it almost seems like the chool discourages unique thoughts. Garfield High School from Stand and Deliver is very poor, has uncaring students and is lead by a faculty that just wants to keep the students shuffling along until they can leave, having wasted all that time. While Keating breaks the busywork pattern of Welton and gets the students excited about the topic with all sorts of alternate teaching, Excalante gets his students motivated to succeed and do more hard work than the rest of the school bothers to do.
