    Los Angeles high school teacher Jaime Escalante (Edward James Olmos) is being hassled by tough students like Angel Guzman (Lou Diamond Phillips). But Jaime is also pressured by his bosses, who want him to control his raucous classroom. Caught in the middle, he opts to immerse his students in higher math. After intensive study, his students ace California's calculus test, only to learn that their scores are being questioned. They'll have to retake the exam in order to quiet the critics.

    I am Hispanic (Peruvian) in Australia and saw this exact same movie when I was in the 9th grade which also was the time when I was being suggested by teachers drop out of school because I had 'no chance'
    I saw this movie purely by coincidence because we were scheduled for P.E one day and it was raining.... seeing this movie had a profound impact on me instilling the importance of education and inspire self belief in ones ability
    Years later, I now have an Economics degree from the best university in the country, half way through a Masters in Artificial Intelligence and this movie still inspires me
    Also I work for one of the large Big Three American Credit Ratings Agency and earn more money than the teacher that asked me to drop out !

And that they will be getting homework in all of their subjects each night and to be prepared to go home tired but happy because they would learn a lot. Within two months, they were on the fifth grade curriculum.

    i taught at a ghetto school with a math department like this one. when i asked to start a calculus program i got the same crap - 'we already tried it and no one passed'. but the principal let me go for it. i got old books from the community college, and another college gave me their outdated calculators. my students caught fire and we did our best, and their results were 15 fives and 4 fours out of 19 students. one student, Darryl, earned another five by passing the BC exam. after that, the department wanted to take all the credit, and the naysayer dept. chair gave speeches about our ghetto students crushing calculus. for the next ten years the number of sections doubled and my students continued the 100% pass rate. they were all heros.

      truth be told I don't think we are taught how to study when we are in school. I'm aware of the problems and issues of education, especially in barrio/hood schools.
      In basic terms this is a tool that can be used, because it forces the student to review the subjects studied. And to keep the subject in memory, you have to review.
      For math especially this is important. Review and exercise. Math is learned on the nail, I heard a teacher say once.
      But if the adults give the example a kid can learn how to truly study and learn. Will he be a genius in math, or english, or history? I don't know. But the kid can learn, truly truly learn. You start with stuff like the quiz and a small review of subjects from age 10 maybe. Like, some minutes of review a day. In a year a person is changed after that

      You might be surprised, but once they get past the point of teaching you the principles, you go back into using computers. After you make it past Calc 3 in college, you start going into math simulators because at the really high levels you need to know how to build the formulae that express what you're looking at, but calculating them out when you get variables is a nightmare. Y'know, modeling and stuff.

      no, that happened when a degree became worthless and lost its value. Degrees lost value when the government stepped in and made it too easy for people to get a higher education. They provided too much financial aid, made the federally subsidized schools lower their standards, and threatened to take away funding if they didnt accept more minorities, even though they were satistically underqualified. Now we have an oversaturated market full of people who have these degrees that did not work as hard for them. Things lose value when they are easier to come by. Why do you think diamonds are so valuable? College degrees are now less valuable than trade skills, that actually require work to develop.

    It is difficult to translate “ganas” . In Spanish it conveys a meaning that could be the fusion of three terms: “desire” , “effort” and “resolution”. Desire is about what you feel, resolution about what you decide, and effort about how hard you try.

    Honestly the standards for becoming a teacher are so low. Don’t get my wrong there are amazing teachers out there but there are more “mediocre” teachers than there are amazing ones. We need to up our standards and up the pay. Since I’ve gone to college my professors are amazing, they can’t compare to high school teachers. They really care about what they do unlike most of my high school teachers did. It such a shame that the standards are low for teachers who really shape generations
