@@hawkers94 It's a movie. But the overall point to be made is the education system is a complete failure and should be allowed to dissolve.

I think the best part of the contract Coach Carter had the players sign is the requirement to sit in the front row in classes. It seems like such a small thing, but it is not. The teacher notices you. You pay attention because you know the teacher is noticing you. You are not tempted to be distracted by talking to friends, or playing on your phone (calculator from my time), or simply dozing off. It forces you to focus. And at the end of the day, if you have a 79.8% in the class, there is a REALLY good chance that that C+ will turn into a B-, because the teacher knows you care and are trying. It's like a cheat code for doing well in school that doesn't break any rules. You just have to do it.
@@Marco-1090 A teacher messing with a student is the sign of a bad teacher. In that case, nothing you do will help. However, I'm sure 99% of teachers are not there to mess with students. It's not a high paying profession, so the ones that do it are likely there because they have a passion for teaching. Why would they self sabotage their passion? I'm not saying there are not bad teachers, but what you may see as "messing with you" is actually a teacher trying to motivate you to do better and pushing you to succeed. I'm not a teacher myself, but the ones I know have a vested interest in their students succeeding.
gotta give respect to those 3 teachers for taking whatever free time they had and using it to help these kids get their grades up so they can do what they love, play basketball.
As an educator what I find impressive is that it not only adresses the students but also their parents. Because this is where education actually starts.
Yes, even for the best players in the world. There is roughly a 1.3% chance of a college basketball player getting drafted into the NBA, about 1 in every 75 players. And that's just getting DRAFTED, which doesn't guarantee that they'll make it. Football isn't much better with just a 2% chance of a NCAA senior getting drafted in the NFL. Even if they do make it, the average NBA career lasts less than 5 years. The NFL is even shorter at just over 3 years. For most guys, that isn't enough to support you for life. So what are they to do when they're 25-27 years old and out of the league? Without a legitimate education, their options are limited.
Only thing I can think of is to be smart with the cash you're going to make. I don't know the numbers, but I'm pretty sure the pay for a professional athlete is pretty good. If you know that you have a small chance of making this a living, then you have a backup plan. Save up the money you make. Use some to invest into markets that will consistently make a return or is in no way going to go bankrupt. Granted in 3 years you're probably going to end up not being on a professional team anymore, but at least you have saved up enough money to have a good living while you're looking for another job or better yet, getting an education on a field of work you want.
It’s all just to skirt child labor laws with actual kids they either aren’t as skilled actors or can’t work with the mature material or can’t work too many hours or full time at all.
Those are the coach's that don't just want the team to succeed but the players themselves also, you sacrifice for the team but never jeopardize your future love that

Sad thing is, a lot of parents are like this in real life, especially if their child is gifted athletically. They just focus on the potential money train instead of the big picture of life.

no, school requirements are really low, they could spend 20-30% of their time studying and they still pass even if they all had 80 iq, american schools "leave no child behind" which is to say they are really easy to pass.
@@luizcastro5246 yeah the no kid left behind really sucks for kids that need the extra help. Instead just throw him in the next grade and hope he knows enough.
when i first was going to college i had a part time job, my parents told me if my grades aren't doing good, for me to quit my job, because school is first
I teach inner school students. And what Cruz was displaying…I see it often. I see it often when I coach soccer. A few learn really quick that it’s not always about yourself. Some learn by falling hard. Most don’t learn at all.
When I was a kid I was chubby and lazy. My father who used to learn Kyokushin-kai Karate saw what I am becoming and wanted to made me healthier. He took me to one of the classes in hopes that I could shape up. When the instructor saw me, he first came to my parents and told me that in order for this to work out they need to be in it as much as I was. They told them that they need to monitor my food intake and pushed me to exercise on the off days that I wasn't in training. The first six months was grueling, just constant PT until I get sick of it and ask him when can I learn how to fight. So he took me on, a Kumite, one on one with him. He told me that he won't even throw punches or kicks. I tried to touch him, I can't. He would just dodge and weave until I ran out of breath and hurl. My mom saw how beat up I was whenever I return home but my dad would stop her from stopping me from going to practice. I did not become a professional but whatever the instructor taught me helped me a lot growing up. Physically and mentally.
It's not just about the grades. It's understanding that playing a sport and the life of an athlete, be it professional, high-school, college and even amateur is a privilege. You have to do and fulfill commitments and standards allow you to live that kind of life that even though its filled with sacrifice is also deeply fulfilling (if you love your sport). A lot of times we make the mistake of not reminding that to our players, we talk only about the sacrifices it takes to be good, or get better and the things they must do in play, and forget about the life decision they have to make to keep that athletic life going. Ive seen this the most coaching not high level athletes but amateurs, who often work long hours, only to spend their hard earned money, and little down time enjoying what little of the sport they can. Its important to think of this as many competitive athletes give up on their sport after college years, because they didnt understand how much of a privilege it was to play it and how much good it did them. They saw it as a job, its not. Its more than that, its a journey, that can at times and for some people also provide financially, but very very few do it for financial reasons. Some continue to do it for financial reasons (older professional athletes might) but I guarantee that's not why they started or got into it. We need to stop treating sports like a job, for our kids, they should want to go, practice, play and develop as much as they can, not because its a job, but because its a privilege, that you might not always get, so you should try to get as much as you can of it, while you can.
I mean its also about the fact maybe 1 of them would be good enough to make a living at basketball and logically speaking them going to college is the most important thing. Likely none of them make it into thr NBA
This is the worlds greatest teacher. He is willing to be the bad guy because he knows better and wants better. That’s the mentality of a good parent. The parents complaining are suppressing their suppress their kids to mediocrity. They should be challenging their kids to do and be better.
4:52: not that I agree with what Cruz says but there are times in my life where I felt like I did work really hard to get to where I am only to see it completely Fall apart so in the words he said, I can see where he was coming from
Right? "They dont own ties. You gonna supply ties" "Goodwill sells ties for $0.50 a piece" "Whatchu sayin?" "What you too good to shop Goodwill or Salvation army?" "Uh, yeah" "Ok, then buy them ties from another store and dont complain that you cant afford them, or get them from Goodwill because damn straight you can afford it there"
Why can't all public schools be like this? I think that having players sign a simple contract, especially when most online games make you acknowledge a contract about rules of conduct and usage, is a good idea - especially if the contract spells out what they need to do in order to play sports. If players follow the rules in the contract, and it ends up improving their grades in class, the rest of their time in school is gravy because they can then focus on sports.
I played football, wrestled and was front row, top grade in the top math and science classes. What's far more difficult than living up to the coaches standards is living the rest of their lives being substandard people. Under educated, under disciplined, under motivated by their own substandard choices. You win, or lose, by the way you choose. Chose to win, or chose to lose. You only have yourself to blame, no one else. Period.
this is totally wrong; and willfully blind you don't get to choose your family and socioeconomic standing you don't get to choose how other people in the world treat you or the opportunities they provide to you demanding discipline & motivation from young people?? when those are LEARNED attributes the clip even shows all these kids have parents who can't see a clear solution what an !@#hole
Humility is the best lesson a man can learn, not weakness, humility. The understanding that you’re not the top dog, there is always someone bigger and better than you, or there is someone far weaker than you.
It's a shame we don't teach our kids that they can be better than average. Push yourselves, strive for excellence in EVERYTHING you do, and that will automatically shift onto the game court floor as well. To be excellent in one area requires excellence in every area of your life. Does not matter whether it is sports, academics, a job/career, a business, a relationship, a family, or anything else. If you want to be the best you can be at one thing, strive to be the best you can be at everything in your life, and that excellence will absolutely, in time, transpose into all the areas of your life. Don't quit. You keep going and going till you reach your full potetial! Don't listen to the nay sayers who do not believe in themselves, let alone in you. You can do it! You absolutely can!
MMOInformers yep, had a 2.7 gpa with a 1450 SAT and a 33 ACT (perfect scores in reading for both). School isn’t for everyone, and high school certainly wasn’t my jam.
I gotta call shenanigans. They made it sound like all the parents were against him for locking the gym for academic reasons. The vast majority of parents would absolutely insist on NO after school job and/or sports and/or extracurriculars if their grades are too low. In real life, there had to have been SOME parents that openly supported his decision in these kind of meetings.
One of the reasons these kids are failing is because the teachers at the school do not know how to motivate or encourage their students to do well and fail to connect their lessons to everyday life to keep their students engaged and interested in learning the material. Also I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the players on the team had a learning disability that the school failed to recognize and perhaps were not able to provide them with the extra help and resources to succeed in the classroom. This happens a lot with schools in lower income areas
Lol, I just went into middle school in Malaysia and I have no idea what all this 2.3 thing is, all I know about is the simple ABC Marking Scheme, and when I was in the school team last time anybody could join, its only if complaints are given that we might get suspended, and that only happened to one student that I know of.
In America, our schools have weighted grade point averages, or GPAs, ranked on a 4.0 scale. As are worth 4 points, Bs are worth 3, Cs are worth 2, Ds are worth 1, and Es/Fs aren't worth any, because you failed the course. A 2.3 indicates you have mostly Cs, with one or 2 Bs, which bring up the average. (A 2.0 indicates you have all Cs)
that's why some educators have the whole squad run extra laps for rule breaking you can't have someone be an athletic phenom and have your only deterrent have no teeth because the kid's in great shape and will ruin your team morale because they show up late and skip stuff with no real consequences
Student before Athlete is right. High School & College sports is not the PROS The odds you make it to the pros are next to nothing & that's if your among the best. You as an athlete go to college to play sports, but you go to college to earn an education that can help you the rest of your life so that when you don't make it to the pros you still have a future..
It hurts my heart that the coach cared about these kids futures more than the parents, teachers and the principal.
Coach was thinking about college and beyond. Everyone else was focusing on getting the kids to show up tomorrow.
Coach has 10 kids to look after, Principal up to 1000 and each teacher over 150...your point?

Imagine feeling like someone holding you to the lowest standard is persecution.
These boys are 'student athletes' student comes first.
So many people trying so hard to make sure it's forgotten.
The gym will remain locked. For today? No! Until further notice.
I don't care that he's not being unreasonable. Matter of fact as a parent I would appreciate the hell out of that
In Pulp Fiction, Samuel L said he wanted to walk the Earth until God puts him where he wants. I’d love to think that this is what he wanted
Ahh yes, I remember playing high school basketball. Yep, had to wear tie and dress clothes on game day.
One of the best sports movies ever made. Samuel L Jackson was the real Ken Carter's choice for the role, and he nailed it.
"Get tutoring." DAMN 🤣
4:46 nick fury realising that one of the new agents of shield wants to quit
Actual this is teaching.. a Coach is about a sport.
Coach carter learns that his students are failing in class
You go to school to get an education, NOT play sports.
You go to school for both things
@@jakerodriguez6552 But, school comes first.
As an Indian I'am shocked as f
Can't believe their parents are arguing in favor of sports😮😮
The best way i can put it into perspective is Imagine that the sport can break your child out of a lower caste and allow you to go to a higher caste.
I've not met people like this for real and I'm from the hood.
I can definitely tutor Timo Cruz in Algebra
It's hard for them to maintain a 2.3 I thought I'm stupid for maintaining a 2.8 😂
Meme Star I feel u. I think I'm stupid maintaining a 3.6
bruh, I'm at a 3.8 and my interviewers think I'm retarded
Because getting grades and actual intellect is not 100% related.
MMOInformers yep, had a 2.7 gpa with a 1450 SAT and a 33 ACT (perfect scores in reading for both). School isn’t for everyone, and high school certainly wasn’t my jam.
HAHA, 3.2 for me fam.
Holding parents responsible omg the outrage
I gotta call shenanigans. They made it sound like all the parents were against him for locking the gym for academic reasons. The vast majority of parents would absolutely insist on NO after school job and/or sports and/or extracurriculars if their grades are too low.
In real life, there had to have been SOME parents that openly supported his decision in these kind of meetings.
1:12 Oscar worthy performance
One of the reasons these kids are failing is because the teachers at the school do not know how to motivate or encourage their students to do well and fail to connect their lessons to everyday life to keep their students engaged and interested in learning the material. Also I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the players on the team had a learning disability that the school failed to recognize and perhaps were not able to provide them with the extra help and resources to succeed in the classroom. This happens a lot with schools in lower income areas
All starts at home. How can a teacher teach when somebody is constantly mucking around. Kids learn manners at home, and math at school.
"Yeah I ain't that broke" 😆
It was easy for me. I don’t know about other people or places.
I would totally reach the 2.3 just to not see my mother act like this ever, not even if are her deepest emotions.
That feeling when the "F" doesn't stand for "fucker"
What's the name of that he movie
Coach Carter
After this movie, all high school basketball players followed the dress code.
4:52 timo Cruz had the nerves to speak to coach Carter like that
The random asian guy on the team doesnt get no lines lol
Timo Cruz (Gerard Garnett)
"I killed myself to get back on the team"
Even though they volunteered to finish the push-ups and suicides he didn't get done.
Why did timo Cruz walk out again
He walked out he worked hard to get back on the team then carter put them in the library.
Jaisen Weaver coach carter and timo Cruz struggled to get along
@@ollsmz9887 In real life they all struggled to get along with Him
"Yeah, I ain't that broke."
Jesus, you just can't win with these people.
Coach Carter to Cruz:
You have lost.
"Are we too good to shop at Goodwill and Salvation Army, is that it?"
"Yeah, I ain't that broke!"
Lmfao
She said it so serious too 😆
Imagine thinking any parent wouldn’t support any of those rules in the first place.
Are you gon supply the ties?
*suggest a thrift shop
what are you tryna say?
The last movie to showcase a strong black man was stripped away by the Will Smith slap
What's the name of this movie? Pls help me out
Coach Carter
It's odd that there are still parents like this. Less responsibilities, less work and more complaining.
They signed the contract and the parents just overlooked that and let them not honor them. He said it. How long before there out there breaking laws
N we still dont know what Oilers stand for..i really want to know what Oilers stand for
Them progress reports bleeding lol
0:55
my favorite part is when kenny borught home the trophy he lost focus on his boys grades 0:55
2:47 what’s the song?
Lol, I just went into middle school in Malaysia and I have no idea what all this 2.3 thing is, all I know about is the simple ABC Marking Scheme, and when I was in the school team last time anybody could join, its only if complaints are given that we might get suspended, and that only happened to one student that I know of.
In America, our schools have weighted grade point averages, or GPAs, ranked on a 4.0 scale. As are worth 4 points, Bs are worth 3, Cs are worth 2, Ds are worth 1, and Es/Fs aren't worth any, because you failed the course.
A 2.3 indicates you have mostly Cs, with one or 2 Bs, which bring up the average.
(A 2.0 indicates you have all Cs)
@@hindenburg2006 ahhh that makes a lot of sense, thanks
2:05
What’s the song?
You know that Asian dude probably got a 4.0 lol
Song at 2:47 please
Noa same team no games
Building culture baaaaaby
I would have been really annoyed if I wasn't allowed to practice even though I upheld my side of the contract. That's bs.
I agree with the annoyance, though it really isnt b.s. its teamwork.
that's why some educators have the whole squad run extra laps for rule breaking
you can't have someone be an athletic phenom and have your only deterrent have no teeth because the kid's in great shape and will ruin your team morale because they show up late and skip stuff with no real consequences
T E A M
When you're playing and someone gets a penalty does the penalty only apply to the person who committed the foul or does it apply to the whole team?
@@clausewitz41_plus_1 technically, aren't you only allowed so many team fouls?
Student before Athlete is right.
High School & College sports is not the PROS
The odds you make it to the pros are next to nothing & that's if your among the best.
You as an athlete go to college to play sports, but you go to college to earn an education that can help you the rest of your life so that when you don't make it to the pros you still have a future..
Just getting the practise ahead of walking out on his kids
