This movie and more importantly, the life of Jaime Escalante are magnificent. I had the pleasure and honor of spending 4 days at a retreat in Traverse City, Michigan with Professor Escalante a number of years ago. As a professor of education myself, I cannot begin to tell you just how much I learned from this remarkable man!
I so loved the movie that for decades I wanted to take Calculus This semester I finished Calculus 1, with an A. The music and themes of "Stand & Deliver" are in my heart always.
My parents are Bolivian I was born here... and I always tell people that he isn’t only an example for the Bolivian community in the United States but also an example for the spanish community as a whole... with ganas you can accomplish everything.... Always love hearing success stories within our Bolivian community... he isn’t just a success story of himself but he contributed in the rise in the level of education of Latinos... his students are his success story
I was never had the opportunity to be his student, but I was thought by two of his students , thanks to them I became an engineer. The seed that he planted help so many students achieve their dreams I remember one thing I was told " If I can do it, you can do it" always with GANAS.
Agradecido por la publicacion de este video en honor al MAESTRO Jaime Escalante, quien triunfo en los Estados Unidos de Norte America. Un orgullo boliviano
To a Gentlemen of distinction and dignity. Brilliance and heart. If we all could have been touched by this great man. Rest In Peace good Sir. Our country lost a fantastic Citizen.
mis respetos a este genio de las matemáticas k logro el objetivo en ese momento . un hombre de muchas GANAS!!!! felicidades Bolivia valoren a este genio .... saludos desde México
You only remember the Bad Teachers the most feared and unjust. THEN.... There is the last thought.. The One about "THE ONE" We all have the "ONE WE MISS". Those ladies and gentlemen are the real HEROS. I Have one. Alex. He had a bad go after Graduation. I Think about his wisdom and mastery of Language ( vocal delivery and Silent acting to make us get it) God Bless the Good ONES. All of them. Thank you to all the ones who never get this credit.
@@felixllanas4534 Heck yeah! I love how he was solely responsible for introducing Israel "Cachao" Lopez to the new generation of the coolest "World Music" listeners in the late 90's and beyond.
Because of Mr. Escalante, I made sure my kids got the best possible education. My kids graduated from Santa Cruz university, UCI down in Irvine, Berkeley and MIT..Échale ganas mijo. Kaknamal Mr Escalante ,alguacil jaub,,,,(my old tenek language.)
Pero en Bolivia tambien se necesitan maestros como él. Muchos bolivianos no tienen una biena educación. Claro hay de todo en este mundo. Y Estados Unidos tiene una terrible educación pública comparado con Europa. Jaime Escalante se educó en La Paz. ¿O me equivoco? No fue en Santa Cruz.
I feel proud of being latin thanks to latins like Jaime Escalante. Corrección en el nombre de este gran señor. Disculpen fue el maldito corrector que me cambió el nombre, y ni cuenta me di.
God bless his soul. When I get to heaven, I want to learn Calculus from him. I'm sure he can teach me Geometry too, a class I wasn't paying attention too. If not now that I learn, in the afterlife.
I had one math teacher like that in high school. I had bath math anxiety back in the day and for some reason I felt really comfortable in his class getting 90s on his exams.
Edward James Olmos is an amazing actor however he does a strong Mexican accent in the movie, but Jaime Escalante is actually from Bolivia; very different accents. Unless the teacher in real life was just imitating the Mexican accent to catch the attention of the Mexican American students.
@_OBK_ I have a few questions! 1: Where or how the United States government got the name AMERICA from? 2: What happened first? The United States of America or the American Continent? 3: What government and it's Geographers added the North, the Central and the South to the American Continent?
MY RESPECTS FOR HIM. BUT HE MISS SOMETHING. SAYING "WHEN HE GOT TO AMERICA". HE NEVER LIFT AMERICA. BECAUSE AMERICA IS NOT A COUNTRY AMERICA ITS A CONTINENT/S
You'll always have fools in so called comedy trying to rate down the efforts of men. Thing is, good folk will always be there. Until Someone says That's Enough!
Uhhhh....mathematics is NOT easy for everyone. Maybe if I had a teacher like him! But I am not good with numbers....better with letters....and definitely don't understand when the letters and the numbers are all shoved together.
Almost nobody is good at throwing a baseball or shooting a basketball either. Some GET good because they like doing it so much that they do it a lot. Others can be good if they commit to such things whether or not they like it. A good teacher can spark a students interest or at least foster a will to apply effort. Mental activities are similar to muscular coordination and strength. It's not nearly so much that math is easy for some and hard for others. That's mostly false crap. The Einstein's of the world are not your basic college level math students getting good grades. The public school set up has not helped much for sure. Students should be in classes based on ability at any given time, Not based on their age or grade level per se. Passing kids on to higher levels when they can barely do basic math is like expecting varsity baseball team level performance from someone who barely knows the rules of the game or how to hold a bat. Body builders don't go from benching 80 pounds to 280 pounds in a month. It takes time and proficiency development at almost each level. Very little logic is taught or practiced in American society. Quite a lot of math is nothing more than logic puzzles. Bigger puzzles are made up of smaller puzzles, but most people can only learn how one new puzzle piece fits at a time. Throwing a student into a higher level math course where all the pieces are brand new does not work. That's not the student's fault, and it does not mean the person is not good at math. It means that the smaller math "muscles" have not been developed, that's all. I was not a good student. I rarely did any homework, but I only got behind on math in the last 2 years of HS. I was ahead before that because I had a hobby that exercised a lot of math essential brain cells. I played board games. Strategy games and money games and I played them seriously, to win, not just as a mindless thing to use as a social get together excuse (those people are NOT board gamers). A slow train can climb a high mountain higher than El Capitan if the track is not too steep, but it takes time and effort. Not everyone needs to learn Calculus or quantum physics, but things like internediate algebra are useful in developing a person's ability to think. Same goes for reading and writing which most Americans are also horrible at, but tests for that are much more subjective so it's easier to slide by.
I'm Bolivian and I always remember Jaime whenever someone brings up the topic of what Bolivia gave to the world. The greatest teacher ever
And Raquel Welch's great looks!
Don't forget Coca.
Dios bendiga Bolivia!
Good colla.

This Man is AMAZING 💛
What a Beautiful Teacher ✏️
Who Had the Patients and the Heart to "NOT" give up on these STUDENTS 🏫
mis respetos a este genio de las matemáticas k logro el objetivo en ese momento .
un hombre de muchas GANAS!!!!
felicidades Bolivia valoren a este genio .... saludos desde México
A great man. He had Ganas!
I watched this movie last night for the first time ever, it was great
I admire to Jaime , I’m proud of him because we have a lot of in common, one of them is he’s Bolivian and I’m Peruvian 👏🏻👏🏻💪🏻 andinos por el mundo.
I'm American but my father was Peruano.
I appreciate how he was not one to accept excuses.
_"Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them."_ - Matthew 7:20
Gracias por todo lo que diste, señor Escalante. Vaya con Dios, nuestro amigo.
True pride for the Latin community
tammylovesmakeup,
Thumbs👍👍up!
Es una inspiración este Hombre que persona tan apasionada es un verdadero regalo de dios al mundo . Que en paz descanse un gran hombre.
Glory belongs to the collective, but failure belongs to individuals.
this is what greatness is, a man who did all this based on character and determination....
He was such an inspiration

Es un orgullo no para Bolivia, sino para todo el mundo.
Jaime was an amazing man!
I watched this video with my students, who continue to be inspired by him
I love him!
will always respect this man's character and traits as a teacher always and forever.
One of the best Los Angeles movies ever made.
To this day, I can't stand Andy Garcia only because of the role he played in this film.
That means that Andy Garcia is an outstanding actor.
"But if I catch you on the street, I'll kick the shit out of you"
@@felixllanas4534
Heck yeah!
I love how he was solely responsible for introducing Israel "Cachao" Lopez to the new generation of the coolest "World Music" listeners in the late 90's and beyond.
@@jonplaud another way to say it is kick your ass - chanelling King of the Hill's Hank Hill here.
wish I had a teacher like that...I hate math so much but I'm sure with a teacher like him I would have at least tried.
Because of Mr. Escalante, I made sure my kids got the best possible education. My kids graduated from Santa Cruz university, UCI down in Irvine, Berkeley and MIT..Échale ganas mijo. Kaknamal Mr Escalante ,alguacil jaub,,,,(my old tenek language.)

Jaime Escalante se educó en La Paz. ¿O me equivoco? No fue en Santa Cruz.
Mad respect.
Omg he was even a motivational speaker 😮
Orgullo de La Patria Grande
I feel proud of being latin thanks to latins like Jaime Escalante. Corrección en el nombre de este gran señor. Disculpen fue el maldito corrector que me cambió el nombre, y ni cuenta me di.
Right. You can't even get his name right. Say it (and spell it) with me: "Escalante."
Ben Faulkner,
Lol, thanks for the correction!
Probably spell check changed it.
Math is important and math is life. If you don’t do math focus, you are not disciplined
Mi heroe!!👍
You are the best
RIP Kimo!
Brown Pride!!!
ESTE TIPO DE GENTE ES LA QUE DUELE QUE SE VAYA Y ISO QUE USA SE HAGA FUERTE
NO LA QUE NO DA NADA
That's how I learned my 9 tables
God bless his soul. When I get to heaven, I want to learn Calculus from him. I'm sure he can teach me Geometry too, a class I wasn't paying attention too. If not now that I learn, in the afterlife.
Ken _ , why would you need calc in heaven?
Damn I wish he would of been my teacher

AMERICA IS NOT A COUNTRY AMERICA ITS A CONTINENT
You develop an accent when you speak amongst those who speak it.
@_OBK_ I have a few questions! 1: Where or how the United States government got the name AMERICA from? 2: What happened first? The United States of America or the American Continent? 3: What government and it's Geographers added the North, the Central and the South to the American Continent?
@_OBK_ I just don't understand why there's so many ignorant, selfish and uneducated people for reals.
UN ORGULLO BOLIVIANO, VIVAAA BOLIVIAAAA CARAJOSSSS
Lo que hiso lo hiso por amor a la comunidad que se conforma con las sobras de un sistema corrupto y de apariencias.
I heard that Garfield High cancelled the math program. For good.
You are big kimo!!!
What is the backstory to his students calling him Kimo?
😎😎😎 #JAIMEESCALANTE
Hey kimo save todo!
Yo lo conozco como el profesor Cartmanes
como se llama la música con la que empieza el vídeo se oye muy linda...
Es del maestro William Ernesto Centellas interpretando el tema de su autoria "vent a mi ".
Can you send link tobseebreal movie?
Rip
Man those girls at 1:36 sure are pretty.
America is the richest country in the history of civilisation. And yet, I feel pity for thier citizens. Go figure.
MY RESPECTS FOR HIM. BUT HE MISS SOMETHING. SAYING "WHEN HE GOT TO AMERICA". HE NEVER LIFT AMERICA. BECAUSE AMERICA IS NOT A COUNTRY AMERICA ITS A CONTINENT/S
I thought zero is a place holder
tiene unos hacksasos xd
