Oh, Captain, My Captain

After standing up on the desks and standing for what they believe in, the next day all the students stand up against Mr. Nolan and keep the boys from being suspended. Mr. Nolan is fired for jumping straight to conclusion and not doing more research and then firing Mr. Keating without knowing the whole truth. Then in the end, Neil was just acting the entire time. He was trying to prove to his parents that he is a great actor and that is what he should be doing, and he has feelings and isn't a three year old anymore and can make his own choices.
