In some instances we see some small forms of bad teaching
such as Mr. Keating singling out Todd Anderson and saying “Don’t you think that
I know that this assignment scares the hell out of you”. The next scene shows a
form of good teaching in which Mr. Keating again points out Mr. Anderson and taunts
him in a way to help him grasp the idea of true poetry. In the same scene he
also pressures him in front of the class to help him think in a way of poetry,
such as detailing the picture of a sweaty-toothed madman. In this way he is using
pressure from being in front of the class in order to bring Todd to the path of
poetic enlightenment. So far in this half of the movie we only see small slivers
of bad teachings from Mr. Keating but out of all of the slivers that we have
seen this scene showing good teaching out ways a them all.
