I had a teacher in the 6th grade who was the greatest educator I've ever met. I knew from our first meeting that he was a straight shooter and he saw the spark in my eye when I was entertaining people. He used to let me draw funny comic strips on the back of my homework, which pushed me to actually take initiative. Counselors, therapists, no one could understand why Christopher had no drive, no academic interest, and dismal respect for authority. Mr. Ramsey spoke to me for 20 minutes and had me all figured out. There's people out there like him who remind me of Robin's characters. People who inspire me to be fearless. Those people rarely get to be as famous as Robin Williams, but to the ones they affect, they're superheroes

I really wished my education was like this - to feel alive, to feel worthy - all I learned at school is follow orders and memorise things that never helped me deal wth real life.

Here’s to Mr. Keeting and all the other amazing teachers out there mistreated for their individualism.

"It's not the bible, your not going to go to hell for this" - The best line I've ever heard.

Oh Captain, my Captain! We miss you!

RIP and long live Robin Williams (July 21, 1951 - August 11, 2014), aged 63 You will always be remembered as a legend.

I miss this man more than most of my own family.

Nothing is so strong and honorable as respect that's earned and returned .

I saw this & I must say,the line he says about looking at things differently, it's got to be one of the BEST things I've heard!

I'm so thankful I had amazing teachers like this. For the teachers that are watching thank you for educating our future, now let's work on taking proper care of our educators!

There were less than a hand full of teachers like him but most of us had at least one you remember.

I love robin Williams he was so awesome and amazing actor I wish he would've beat his depression =(

I was very Fortunate My English Teacher in High School 1973-1976 Mr Gail Clifford Thank You 🙏

I seriously wish we had teachers like this. Maybe i would have actually learned something.

I wish I had a teacher like this.

I had 1 teacher that was in the same Keating caliber. He was the one who helped make high school enjoyable and helped me form my philosophy on life.

The late Robin Williams portrayed the greatest teacher of all. RIP

I think Keating makes an interesting point here. Can the value in a poem be measured by the metrics defined by Dr Pritchard? Alternatively, is poem's value greater than the sum of its parts? If so, a linear measurement system like the one he describes will fail because some poems that score poorly on one or more metrics may in fact hold enormous value. I'm reminded of Picasso who famously said: "It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child." Should we teach our youth to walk in the footprints of the greats who preceded them and hope that those who have sufficient passion for the topic to take it up as a career will still have enough courage and creativity left break out of the mold? Is everyone able to break away from the mold? The answer to that is probably no - at least not in the fashion that the likes of Picasso achieved since that requires genius. Schopenhauer best defined genius in his quote: "Talent hits a target no one else can hit; Genius hits a target no one else can see." A poem written by a talented poet will probably measure quite well against Pritchard's metrics. A poem written by a genius will fail in one or more of Pritchard's metrics but will be so revolutionary and powerful in its method of expression that it'll give birth to a whole new genre. Given the extreme rarity of geniuses (in the true sense of the word rather than the sense used - or misused - by the modern media), teaching Pritchard's rules will do little harm. Just make sure that the students are also enjoying the poetry and make the poem come to life for them (as Keating tried to do). If a poetry teacher is sufficiently inspirational that his/her students are still reading poetry in their own private capacity many years after having graduated from the class, then that teacher will be able to rank themselves at the very peak of their profession.

Miss him so much... Thanks for being a part of my life Robin

"Rip and tear, until it is done" -Mr Keating, probably

This movie celebrates the greatness of life to be lived

The best movie I ever seen in my whole life.

John Keating : "Boys, you must strive to find your own voice. Because the longer you wait to begin, the less likely you are to find it at all." This is no longer taught anywhere, today our children learn to be nice obedient consumers, no one dares to think for themselves.

This should be required viewing to all teachers who wish to accept their degree

With everything I've watched with Robin Williams. I've seen he's excellents in not only comedy but drama and thriller. I miss him so much. If any teacher could be so passionate as he. I think our education would be more attentive. I want to re-watch it.

Still one of the best movie I watched

Jesus, when I watch this movie I realise how useless 'secondary' education is largely to most kids. I was bored shitless all day at school, and was so depressed by the end? I was just numb and confused. English and music where the only subjects that did ANYTHING for me, the rest? I can honestly say, a huge waste of time. People shouldn't feel that way about their education. Bored? Kids won't learn anything under those conditions.

It would be so nice if my students had memories of me teaching like Mr. Keating.

Oh Captain!

charlie dalton is just so perfect !!!

Oh heart! Heart! Heart Oh bleeding drops of red Where on the deck my captain lies Fallen cold and dead...

One of favorites !

I cried sooooo much watching this

9 years the world lost the amazingly talented Robin Williams❤️❤️ July 21st 1951 - August 11th 2014

He made poetry truly beautiful

This is the type of effective teacher who is villified by today's system and ultimately outcast. It is a disgrace

this movie broke my heart when we had to watch it in 9th grade

He reminds me of my English teacher who had a great personality

Miss u to much I can't control my tears ohhh god

I was very lucky and had some wonderful teachers in middle school and high school. Some sucked but enough of the really good ones to make a difference.

There was only one Robin Williams. He came across the Hollywood sky like a meteor, and then was gone. "Good Will Hunting" showed us all that he was. For us Vietnam veterans, his "Good Morning Vietnam" told the story of what a mess that was. The great ones come and go too quickly. Robin Williams was a Great One!

What an inspiring movie

im not crying you’re crying

I had a philosophy teacher that I know for a fact watched this movie, even tho they never said it.

RIP!!!

I am so proud of myself 🖤

Remind me of my school days

My professor Mr. Nirupam resembles of Mr. Keating,❤️.

why wasn't my teacher like this..

Oh! I live to be the ruler of life and the slave! :)

What is the music that plays on the field?

I miss you.

❤️

He reminds me of my English teacher

The football scene, is it deleted scene? It's good. :)

Rip it OUT!

I was given the world yet, I was dumb.

You should compare this class with the Cronauer class🎉

Hi there, can I use part of this clip for a video project I have?

Unfortunately I never had such a teacher, they were all failures

Walt Whitman was gay

Err, emm, that would have been nice if you didn't just eighty-six the entire introduction (<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="67">1:07</a>). I guess Dr. J. Evans Pritchard, Ph.D, doesn't get our consideration, thanks to Mr Keating.

Rubbish history lesson if they teach them about Abraham Lincoln and don't bother to mention the two poems that Walt Whitman wrote in honour of Lincoln after his assassination.
