Charles vs. Catherine

The difference between Charles and Catherine view on life and teaching is Catherine is more outside of the box. Catherine felt like life is precious and should be spent the right way, make everything count. She wanted to actually interact with the students, She cared about how they felt about her class. For example towards the beginning of the movie Catherine completely changed the syllabus that she first gave to the students. Her reasoning for this is because she wanted interaction from the students. Your at school to learn new things day by day not go over things that you already know. This is why she found different ways to teach, WITHOUT THE TEXTBOOK. She even took as far as showing them a painting that she painted herself when she was a child. She did this because she wanted to make them think, she wanted to stimulate their minds in every way possible. Catherine was also kind of a mentor to her students. She freely expressed how she felt about life, changing Betty's life for the good. While Charles was strictly about facts. He wanting nothing more or less then the textbook. He felt like everything else would be irrelevant to the students. Everything was strictly professional.
