I agree with your sentiment in principle (Raquel wasn't used to Escalante's initiative and was maybe too disillusioned) but I think you're oversimplifying. Raquel's concern was quite legitimate: she didn't want to see the kids fail and lose whatever little motivation they had. And while having a great teacher helps a great deal, even the best of teachers can only do so much. There are often socioeconomic, family, and other issues beyond the teacher's (and the student's) control. My wife is an public elementary school teacher in a solidly middle to middle upper class neighborhood, and these issues still come up.

Exactly, this is why the Democrats messed up all of California

This reminds me of a teacher I had my sophomore year. I had Algebra and was horrible at it. I made mostly D's and F's with a few bright spots-some C-'s on quizzes and tests. Our teacher suddenly had to leave for personal reasons. This new teacher came it. He didn't care if you failed as long as you tried he would pass you. I still did horribly on homework, quizzes and tests but he would tell me "don't worry I'll pass you". Well he was only temporary and was replaced by another teacher who was permanent. I think her name was Ms. Aiken. I got use to sliding by. But Ms. Aiken didn't put up with any BS. The first quiz I failed she called my parents and told them I needed help. She said she would be happy to stay after school to help me everyday for as long as it took to get me on track. Short story is I became obsessed with Algebra. I had been a failing student. I became an "A+" student in her class. She actually TAUGHT me. She's probably the best math teacher I ever had. Teachers like that are hard to come by but I will always remember her.

“If you let these kids fail, you shatter what little self confidence they have” little does she know most of those kids have a lot of self confidence considering their previous plan was to just drop out of high school and start working for a living without heading to university or getting a scholarship, Mr Escalante knew that directing their energies into something more worth while was the thing that was going to save them, Raquel was just lazy and didn’t even want to try, ironically she probably has the least amount of self confidence

The Lady looked down on those students like they have no future if they fail. Sure, people with low self confidence will lose hope after failing once. But whats important is that you tried at your best level to succeed. I would rather fail miserably than to give up as a whole without a try

I swear, every time somebody starts a sentence by saying your name there is nothing but condescension coming.

She is a not a teacher if she does not teach. I had heaps of teachers that only turned up for a pay check to baby sit the students and did not nothing about what they were teaching they just read out of a book the students would have been better off just reading out of the subject book themselves and filling out answers in it then reading at the back of the book if they got the answer correct that is how useless most people that call themselves teachers are.

There is also a sharp difference in accountability. In top performing countries in math, research shows kids in those cultures tend to consider the possibility that maybe their shortcomings were because they didn’t try, study, or asked for help. In America, kids expect it to be easy right away and if it isn’t, they give up and blame the teacher or subject. That was just one of the many things that made Escalante so incredible-he was able to shatter that mindset. That sometimes things are hard, and that doesn’t mean you’re dumb, it just means you need to work harder though.

She would quickly write math on the overhead projector then take the sheet away before I could even write it down myself.....Her last name was Omen and she really was one. My older brother had her 5 years before me and just mentioning her name gave him chills...

Any additional knowledge, even without passing the Advanced Placement Test, is always useful.

He reminds me of my dad, never gives up

I forgot what a good movie this was. Teachers with low expectations which means built-in failure.

Every math class should show this movie before the class starts

@@generalreign3483 , good work! The longer you make "kids," the funnier it becomes.

I want to rewatch this again

Both having a good point and wanting to do good for the kids... Unfortunately one is only thinking about there well being and that’s it. The other see’s a real future and a chance to get out of the place there in. Need more people like this today

A good teacher is so rare

"If they try and don't succeed..." is the recipe for a lifetime of regret.

I like how that lady teacher coolly insults her coworkers who are in room. “Not even teachers in this room can pass the AP exam.” And they all just take that.😅😂

if he doesn't try their self confidence will stay where it is and will go through life just settling instead of striving for more

Have a good day! my favorite line.

How can I reach these keeeeeeeeeeeeds

And after Calculus, I want to teach advanced Viper flight concepts.

I really despise teachers/admins who write kids off and think they can speak for them when they don't believe in them in the first place

and if they triumph?. how high their self esteem will rise.

Those AP tests are no joke though

Honestly...this move needs to be made today......today is so wrapped up in people being held back because of the bigotry of soft expectations....not just along racial lines as that quote originally addressed....but any kids who came from a hard back ground...or just struggle at school. Yes some people will be left beind.....but not cast aside......because if we have a system that leaves no one behind then we also have a system that pushes no one ahead. We should have high expectations and compassion for those who can not meet them........not a compassion that keeps them from expectations. That is a compassion that causes more harm than benefit.

Ironically soft racism is exactly what these kids face in this movie. The woman who doesn't believe in them, because "these kids aren't the kind that can bounce back". "These kids cant.... x, y, z". That she never wanted to give them the chance to show what they COULD do. To hold them accountable for themselves and give them the opportunity to be their best selves. And when they soar, they face more racism, because there is no way this school was able to do this. right? Money does solve a lot of problems, but so does actually believing in your students, and having families that believe in them to, but also holds them accountable to when they don't. To many parents "why are you giving my son an F, your son earned an F ma'am, I gave him the tools and the road map to get an A, he chose to not use them."
