My parents reaction to my grades back then lol😂

Best coach Ever baby

I don’t know where’s the library at 😅

Accountability is important in education. Something that today's schools lack. I say that as someone who graduated from High School in 22.

The movie is like Lean on Me but with Basketball

🎉

Honestly, I would play for Coach Carter anytime, even if he kills me in practice ❤

In reality the Richmond principal was a strong supporter of the lock out. She backed Coach Carter from the beginning.

Lot of truth in Coach Carter’s words

The damn principal had even gave up on her students and staff

“Unfortunately Mr Carter you and I both know that for some of these kids, this basketball season will be the highlight of their lives!” Ok then what, what happens to them when the season’s over and they’ve failed high school? They’d be on a very slippery slope, difficultly getting employment, any job they do get would be low paying low entry level. The frustrating thing about most of the adults is they couldn’t look at the bigger picture.

'Challenge them academically?' 'And what if they fail?' 'Take away basketball, the one area where they have some success?' Wow. She talks as if she's already given up on them.

I wasn't motivated then

What if they failed then we failed

I still love the next part where the boys just moved all their desks fro, the library to the gym

killers

He always put a lock on the gym. Maybe they cut it off by using a bolt cutter.

Stress"less" Ability...

I wanna be Coach then

Most difficult time in My life I got straight A's in the Master of Education experience

What I like is the primary and secondary messages. The primary being that school sport success is unlikely to lead to later life success. His methods give them the building blocks to develop as people academically. This then leads to the secondary message of acccountability to others. These contracts empowered the boys to perform an act that benefitted their team. They all agreed to gain good school grades, failing to do so means not playing and thus weakening the team. They came together as a team to make sure they all got grades before they could play. It's an important mindset to be in where you think internally 'what can I do to help others'. You become better a person as a result when that becomes the default thought process.

I like this scene because it highlights what's wrong with public schools these days: lack of accountability. All the players had to do was make the grades and stay out of trouble. Coach Carter challenged them academically and told them they could go to college. You then see the players hold themselves accountable when they're doing homework in the gym.

Too many people like her in the mix. It’ll take generations to eliminate her kind but as long as criminals in politics keep setting things back in time rather that supporting self responsibly it will linger forever…. It’s how gov uses and controls the masses they created

"Sir, they can cut the chain off the door, but they can't make us play."

He made them see their own value. Not enough Coach Carters in this country and so many of our youth are still lost.

It hurts my head how right he is but everyone else is more concerned with basketball then their education and futures.

I'm surprised that the teachers didn't fake the reports they were sending to Carter. I've heard that happens in some sports towns like in Texas.

I knew what the words was I want to watch the damn video wtf

Coach Carter is a model coach. I’d stand by him; the media stood by the principal. He teaches the public to focus on academic performance. I’d vote to keep the lockout like the judge herself would. People like Coach Carter are just what society needs. He believed in a better future for the team. He taught each member of the team that their future lies beyond the basketball gymnasium.

4:27: “ And this is the only way I know how to do that!” 4:28: * Giant shark appears and snatches coach Carter away*

And true to life, the parents are all for the status quo if it gives them tangible results and instant gratification. It's a lot like cleaning a messy room, it doesn't look like you are making any progress until the job is mostly done. Even if it doesn't look like it, you're still making progress every step of the way, and at the end you get the best reward of all, you just have to be while to go through with all those other times.

I'd do the same thing

I love how he points out the double standard of white people vs black people use the word nigger, words don't change meaning depending on the person saying it, either it's a derogatory term or not. To Quote this one parent (link below) "Racism in America would be by and large dead today if it were not for certain people and institutions keeping it on life support", and the mere idea of not only black people want to use that word in the first place as well as say that only they can use it, is the same insulting elitist kind of thinking that lead to slavery in the first place. ruclips.net/video/DvG4Q-yFwcU/видео.html

p.trainning filling

He fought for them ! God bless!!

Very seldom you have a principal that is supportive to the coach

3:38

That conversation alone with thr prinipal vindicates why public schools are a joke

I’m an Athletic Director and tutoring is mandatory if you’re failing one class! We are doing nothing more than enabling kids if we let them play if they are not passing their classes! Effecting change starts with accountability and it’s not easy at a public school because these kids are set up to fail!

If only schools focused more on education than sports

That lady who said "Good" at the very end didn't listen to a damn word he said

This is how a coach is suppose to be. These kids are student athletes. Notice which word comes first. Athletics are a luxury and a privilege. If the student cannot keep his or her grades up, they don't deserve to participate in athletics.

Carter with the W

That principal would be a typical public school politically correct one....

0:22 that sigh was like he was reading divorce papers

The look on her face when Carter says “I think that part of the problem, don’t you?” Said everything. She knows how right he is, but doesn’t know how to change it

Hold up is that Mace Windu?

This epic

I totally agree with what Coach Carter did.

This is the highlight of Samuel L. Jackson's acting career in my opinion.
