I think his biggest problem is all his students are 25 and still in high school.
-
There was a school program named after Jaime Escalante and it was dedicated to reaching out to kids from low class families and helping them in math. I was lucky to be chosen for the program and they helped me improve my math skills. This man deserves more recognition.
-
He truly wanted the best for his students. Eventually they all saw it.
-
It’s sad how the school system screwed over the real Jaime Escalante. Arguably one of the best teachers ever, and he received death threats from the union because his class sizes were too big due to the students wanting his classes. He walked without even a thank you. The math program collapsed after he left.
-
It’s said that if teachers act like this students are actually more prone to learning and actually boost up their grades

How do I reach these keeeeeeeeds
-
Selena's dad teaching Ritchie Valens math.

“I brake your neck like a toothpick”. Lol wonder if that line was improvised... the look on Lou’s face was priceless
-
Finger man and net head 😂😂😂lol
-
Between "Stand & Deliver" and "American Me," no one can deliver an ¡Órale! like Edward James Olmos.
-
I love the character Angel. He was the smartest student in the class but his way of life often led to lack of self esteem to his abilities. The character development too; willing to go swimming at the beach despite reluctance, walking away from bad friendships despite raging peer pressure, and the determination to be better to the point where he even visit his teacher's house with his grandmother for redemption. Angel was surely a good young man, a smart young man, a man nonetheless.

"Your going to let those burros laugh at you" lmao
-
Love this, he got on their level, spoke their language and gained their respect. One cannot teach until they gain the respect of the students. And body did he gain their respect.
-
This scene subconsciously shaped a huge portion of my personality without even realizing it.
-
He passed this week. A flipping monster of man. RIP Jamie Escalante.
-
The way that kids face lights up when he feels accomplishment.
-
“Tough guys don't do math, tough guys deep fry chicken for a living.” That hurt cuz I work at Wingstop 😭😭😂 Edit: I'm surprised at how interactive this comment section is even tho its been MONTHS😂.

The hair net is for his shift at McDonald’s
-
This is how the gangs teach newbies to dig holes.
-
“How do I reach these kieeeedz?” This is totally an inspiration for that South Park episode where Cartman teaches inner city kids in Denver
