    The document discusses the philosophy of education presented in the film Dead Poets Society. It conveys that the film promotes students taking an active role in their education by learning in unconventional ways, such as standing on desks. This hands-on approach is meant to make learning more enjoyable and open students' minds. While originally from the era of the film, these goals of a comprehensive education beyond traditional methods have become more common recently as teachers try new strategies to engage students uniquely and cultivate their interest in learning.

    Carpe Diem. Seize the day.

    Anyone who has seen Dead Poets Society  will probably


    mention this line. Not only is this one of the most recognized lines from the film, but echoes the
    theme the movie makes on education. I believe the philosophy the film tries to convey is the
    idea that students need to take an active role in their education, and that learning can be done
    effectively in ways that we might perhaps think are strange, such as when Keating had
    his students get up on his desk to “see the world from a different perspective”. This type of
    education is meant to have students take a more hands-on approach to learning, and
    possibly will make them enjoy school more.  They’re not stuck behind some desk reading all
    day, but rather are trying new activities and having their minds open to different ways of
    thinking. These goals of a more comprehensive and outside the box education aren’t just limited
    to the era of the film though, and I think they have perhaps become more common recently.
    More teachers are trying to shake things up in the classroom and use new teaching strategies to
    engage students in unique ways and make them interested in learning. The more engaged
    teachers can get their students to be, the better. Not only will students learn more, but they will
    enjoy doing it, and want to further their educations.
