The thing I would leran the mst from mr' Keating is that you should see stuff in a different point of view and my fear would be writing a poem and presenting it to the class.Mr Keating would help me by pracicing alot. I might stnd on the desk but once mr Keating left i would go with him. I would hope everybody would follow me
1)That all things can be viewed from a diffrent perspective because i always look at things from only one perspectve.

This is because this lesson would teach you to think for yourself and give you a better perspective on life instead of listening to someone else.
2. My fear would have probably been of acceptance from others. I think Mr. Keating would have helped me overcome that fear, because he would have taught about how I shouldn't care about what others think about me.
3. I would stand up on my desk in the final scene for many reasons. One is because Mr. Keating was a great teacher and put a different perspective on life. Another reason is because I would like to stick it to the old headmaster. And a final reason is because Mr. Keating was just awesome, and Robin Williams is a really good actor.
1. The most meaningful lesson that I would have learned would to think for yourself. Don't let anyone/something else do the thinking for you just let your mind be free; don't be ordinary.
2. My fear would probably presenting something infront of the class. I think mr keating would help me overcome my fear.
3. In the last scene I probably would have stood on my desk because I would respect mr keating and i knew it wasn't his fault that Neil commited suicide.
1) The most Meaningful lesson i would have learned from Mr Keating is that it is important to stand up for what you believe in and not fall in line with everyone else if you do not agree. This is a problem for me sometimes because, like Todd, I tend to be shy in some group situations.
2) My fear would probably be academic related, so kind of like, failing my classes, I guess. I think Mr Keating might help me not be afraid of failing my classes in the first place and help me understand that there are more important things in life than grades. However, it just doesnt seem like him to help a person study is a normal, un-Keating-ly way.
3) I probably would stand on my desk because I would be grateful to Mr Keating for teaching us the most important things in life and I would want him to know that he made a difference in us.
