Mr E vs Mr K


Mr. Escalante is a guy that is all about tough love. He really feels for his students and wants them to go far, but that doesn’t mean he is going to baby them. He makes them put their big kid gloves on and hold on for the ride, no one is allowed off. He believes in his kids and they prove him right. Twice! He may be unconventional, but hell, a lot of the best people are. Take Mr. Keating for instance, also considered very unorthodox in his place of teaching, though he was without a doubt the most beloved teacher at Welton. Unfortunately, for Mr. Keating, at least with the information given, had a short lived time and left no standing effect at Welton. Though, Mr. E went on to have all his students pass the exam and the school continued on to produce a rising number for the years to come. Not to say that Mr. K wasn’t just as great as Mr. E, but it is all in the audience you teach to. At Welton, many students were blinded by fear and Mr. Keating really tried to break them of that and he succeeded in several of his students. Mr. Escalante only had to imprint self confidence in his students and that is damn hard to do. Fear just happened to be stronger.
