* LawfulStupid: Headmaster Nolan places more emphasis on Welton's draconian policies of rote memorization and harsh discipline than inspiring his pupils to face the real world with courage. He is so pedantic about trivial details and learning for learning's sake that he does not motivate students to want to learn on their own. When Mr. Keating tries to instill in his pupils a love of life and a passion for pursuing subjects that stimulate their curiosity, Nolan admonishes him to just "prepare them for college."
