Stand and Deliver
town is poor
school is poor
nobody cares about class
non english speaking kids move to front
kids kinda threaten teacher
fight outside school
school could lose accreditation
teacher says he could do more
one kid asks for more books so he doesn't get seem carrying them around
each student is shown at home working
students start to care about class
one kid refuses to do test and is sat at front of classroom until she does
one kids father makes her work in restaurant
teacher goes to restaurant and talks to father
kid comes back
decides he'll teach calculus
has kids get paper signed saying they'll show up early and stay late
one kid didn't get it signed "you only see the turn not the road ahead"
one girl gets tired of it and tries to leave
one kid says he's too dumb for calculus
Angel is told to leave because he showed up late, his grandmother is sick
Escalante started visiting a junior high
Angel brought his grandmother to Escalante's place on Christmas
Escalante was teaching adults for free at night
he has a heart attack, music teacher is substitite
Escalante is told he shouldn't do anything work related for a month but shows up anyway
