Saw this movie in the 9th grade. Almost got kicked out for truancy and bad grades. Kept trying because of this movie. Ended up with a business degree. Love this movie.
In my most recent job three times I asked for more/harder work, and all 3 times got denied. Then they wondered why I wasn't getting anything accomplished. I think I was subconsciously fulfilling their diminished expectations.
Agreed. I took over a fourth grade class that was academically behind and told them (it was a Tuesday) this is what what my expectations will be tomorrow, Thursday, Friday, and starting next Monday. 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.
After taking calculus one in high school, my teacher showed us this movie at the end of the year. It was then I realized that he copied everything from this movie to teach us.... it worked I got a 4 on the AP exam and we all got college credit.
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 ! Si Se Puede !!!
I love this. Jaime Escalatnte was just one teacher but when someone truly gives it their heart and soul, there are ripples that touch many, many more people.
Congratulations on your hard work!Greetings from a paisana Peruvian in the USA, husband in the AI field who inspires me to love Math and now teaching our child to love Math
"When you go for a job, the person giving you that job will not want to hear your problems and neither do I." I like that. Your problems do not give you value.
This scene is surprisingly accurate on what a staff meeting is like, we just sit there burned out, tired and we discuss problems with the students, budget, parents etc. and we rarely have good solutions. Pretty depressing imo
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.
Saw this movie in Spanish class. No soy Latino pero ahorita hablo en español casi fluente como un hispanohablante del mundo latino. Me encanta esa película. All students should watch this movie. It’s truly inspiring.
“When you go for a job, the person giving you you job will not want to hear your problems and neither do I, you’re gonna work harder than ever before, and the only thing I ask from you is, ganas…desire” I need to make that my morning alarm
"There are some people in this world who will assume that you know less than you do, because of your name and your complexion. But math is the great equalizer"
Nowadays the assumption is "Oh, you went to public school, so you're an idiot who is also gender confused (not really your fault, but the teachers f'd you up)" And far too often the assumption is correct.
No..... bad kids are bad because of bad parents...if no structure is taught at home then don't expect structure at school or anything in there life for that matter
yea in the hood, but teachers everywhere think like that. every school has some douche teacher(s) who hates kids and thinks the kids with bad grades are thugs, punks, brats, whatever you call it
What pissses me off is that what the female teacher said is true, there are indeed systemic issues of our public schools being underfunded. and all this movie seems to say is that all the students need is to stop being lazy and have some "desire" to succeed.
All we need is ganas!!!!!!!! May I be more like you Mr.Jaime Escalante. God bless you Mr. Jaime Escalante and may other teachers and I strive to be like you. RIP and may you be heaven with my dad Mr. Escalante. Sincerely, Peter Neuroth aka Blue :)
@@Cuntfection Good question!. I guess I could say it did help me. I would have had to get a diploma/GED later anyway to have to get the most basic jobs. So yeah, diploma helped me at 17 mostly because I had a father pushing me to do so or I would likely be a broke drop out. I’m now a self employed insurance adjuster since I was 23, and I’m 36 now and have a beautiful baby daughter and wife. My brother, lived with our mom and never graduated. Total loser. 37 and still lives with my mother. On and off hard drugs. Never fathered his two kids who are teens now he never see that live in another state now. He simply won’t work. Very sick situation.
This movie is so inspirational. I'm mechatronics engineer, and all we need is "ganas" to get successful in the life. Mathematics is hard but not impossible. Greetings from Mexico every body.
Ganas it's difficult to translate in English... " Echarle Ganas" is like giving that extra effort, when you are pushing yourself more than the rest, when you give everything you have to succeed.
So many of Mr. Escalante's students did go on to achieve GREAT things careers being one. I've had horrible teachers and let me tell you the price each student pays in this Country of ours is in a 7 letter word POVERTY!
"Students will rise to the expectations we place for them." It's called the "Pygmalion Effect," and as someone going through an Alternate Certification Program for a teaching certificate, us teachers in training are being taught this all over the country now. I'd like to believe it's being taught now because of the blood, sweat, and tears teachers like Mr. Escalante here had to shed to prove it true.
start each class with a quiz. I believe this is the best way of learning. You challenge the student memory of the subject so the student can build a stronger link to it.
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
I was attending Garfield High when this movie was being shot. There were a few establishing shots done on campus, which kinda made this my first extra work ever. Escalante was there at the time and the students got to go to the premier!
If you want to learn more about Jaime Escalante, the teacher Mr. Almos portrays in the movie, you should read the biography: "The Best Teacher in America". I was fortunate enough to meet Jaime when he came to El Paso to encourage the math teachers in my city to have higher expectations for our kids. Ganas, like self-esteem, cannot be given away, but as teachers we CAN and should inspire our students to expend the effort to better themselves by taking the INITIATIVE.
The department chair represented what Eacalante went through in real life. Constant pushbacks from and even death threats from the union for having more kids in each class than was allowed. (they all wanted to take his classes!) He was royally screwed over snd he ultimately walked out. They let one of the best ever teachers walk out the door. We could use a few thousand teachers like Escalante these days!
I used to teach professional courses back in 2012 when a friend of mine asked to watch this movie. He said I taught exactly like Mr Escalante, when I watched the movie I was so moved. I stopped teaching however this movie clips makes me sad and I so want to go back to teaching!
It was very brave for this movie to come out. A main character of non-European heritage teaching other young kids of the same heritage MATH. Calculus, at that!! And I think this movie made a profit!! This was an era when studios took risks. Bravo!!!
If this movie was made today he would of said I do want to hear about all your problems and you must use them for an excuse if you're unsuccessful in life.
I remember back in the day in elementry up until high school when it was all pencil and paper handwritten grinding out solving problems paper after paper being tossed couldn't find the answer but after you did eventually the reward and self-accomplishment was so great. Nowdays ipads apple computer and websites that gives out free answers to a problem you need solved these milenials didn't know the struggle we went through lol. Man how time flies.
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.
Have a cool story on James Olmos my pops was working in construction when this happend he said they were working on some project near the airport when james olmos out of no where came out and started having a conversation with him and a couple other of his coworkers. He said he event sat down on the pavement to have a chat talking about life and even told them about a movie he was coming out with at the time, pops said he's the most humble man you'll ever meet. Wish i could've been there
The students still rise to the level of expectations is exactly the attitude teachers need. My auntie in England asked me my grades in American high school. I said B average. She said I bet you're an A student in England because teachers expect it. In America they more ship them through like cattle. C average is normal. Expect 'A's, you'll get more of them. My favorite idea from the movie Stand And Deliver. One of my favorite movies of all time.
it's a socio-economic issue. in bourgeois society - higher education is generally reserved for the bourgeois class and specialists sponsored by the bourgeois class.
@@alexanderredhorse1297 yeah, good point. I'm sure poorer areas in england and america and everywhere the students just can't be bothered. But good effort from edward james olmos. And the kids in his class were brighter, right?
I could have used a guy like this as a kid. I learned through trial and error that I wasn’t stupid. And that when I applied my self, I could learn. No teacher taught me that.
I’ll be graduating with my mba degree in two weeks. Gone to school for almost 10 years. I plan to become a teacher and give this movie for extra credit to my students
The School system failed us when they let a company take all these high grade graduates end up in debt and have no jobs available with a bachelors or masters degree.
....guess the world shd start changing the old systems... Many jobless etcs. Less work. Shd cut the long working hours....

May we all can do our part for our human race. & special thanks to some peoples/organisations that took effort to help out the less fortunate. Peace be to all. 😊😊😊😊😊
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.
I wouldn't say trade skills are more valuable than a college degree. im going to school for aeronautical engineering, even though it takes 4-6 years to get a degree my starting pay is more than what an iron/steel worker, carpenter, construction worker, even most Foremans will ever make per hour
After seen this in 1992 I graduated in 1993 at Jefferson High School in south LA and became a Building Engineer in Beverly Hills... still hanging out with this coronavirus pandemic
This movie teach you how much teachers can influence in our kids, Bad teachers and Naysayers don’t won’t your kids to excel , the. You have like the lady that think those kids can’t and should just stay where they are, not to push them forward because their parents are immigrants or else, then you Have Mr escalente, He became a teacher to make kids get to places that everyone told them they couldn’t, He push and push but in a positive way. That’s it
Stand and Deliver, Lean on Me, Dangerous Minds and One Eight Seven were all basically the same movie. I remember watching all of them growing up in the 90s. I kinda want to rewatch them!
Find what you really want to do You’ll likely find the Ganas (desire) there. Build skills you can do and enjoy using to help and interact with others Someone out there needs what you have to give and hopefully it will bless you also.
I love this movie all he needed and wanted was their desire and want to change and challenge themselves!!! And he prove they could do it!! God bless Jamie for caring 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
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.
La mera neta es que también tenemos que ser más creativos. Truth’s that we need to be more creative too. Nos encanta estar en las calles, por eso tenemos que hacer las lesiones moviéndonos. We love being in the streets, that’s why we have to teach the lessons in the streets outside in the move.
Interesting how some people in the thread choose to focus on the negative aspects of this scene. One bad teacher shouldn't tank your entire education. But one good teacher makes all the difference in the world. If you stop blaming others for your shortcomings life does get better.

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.
I wouldn't say trade skills are more valuable than a college degree. im going to school for aeronautical engineering, even though it takes 4-6 years to get a degree my starting pay is more than what an iron/steel worker, carpenter, construction worker, even most Foremans will ever make per hour
I'm glad one of my 8th grade teachers showed this in class.
After seen this in 1992 I graduated in 1993 at Jefferson High School in south LA and became a Building Engineer in Beverly Hills... still hanging out with this coronavirus pandemic
Saw this movie in 10th grade 2004 I had bad grades this film motivated me now i work for NASA
Aquí sigo mejorando cada día. I’m here improving every day.
I wish I had a math teacher half as good as he was! Maybe I would have gotten better scores.
Great inspiring and uplifting film.
Lou Diamond Phillips, greatest actor of our generation, definitely deserved the Oscar for this scene.
Isn't this the guy from Miami Vice? Christ...what an actor
Yeah - but in this film he has the hair of the original Miami Vice Lt. Rodriguez.
This movie teach you how much teachers can influence in our kids, Bad teachers and Naysayers don’t won’t your kids to excel , the. You have like the lady that think those kids can’t and should just stay where they are, not to push them forward because their parents are immigrants or else, then you Have Mr escalente, He became a teacher to make kids get to places that everyone told them they couldn’t, He push and push but in a positive way. That’s it
1:30 Powerfully delivered.
Just started being a substitute teacher. These kids are so behind and I get in trouble for not taking a break before my first five hours of work.
I saw this in school. Man, what a cool movie. Idk why it's hitting close to home now. 👊🤘
"ganas" that's what we lack nowdays😰😰😰😰
0:27 “ I don’t think I should be teachin’ math next semestah. I’m from Brooklyn and Los Angeles is even fartha than Elvis Country “
Stand and Deliver, Lean on Me, Dangerous Minds and One Eight Seven were all basically the same movie. I remember watching all of them growing up in the 90s. I kinda want to rewatch them!
187 is a heavy one...
Find what you really want to do
You’ll likely find the Ganas (desire) there.
Build skills you can do and enjoy using to help and interact with others
Someone out there needs what you have to give and hopefully it will bless you also.
⭐
I saw this movie in my 10th grade Geometry class. I am now an English teacher and came back here for ideas on my Halloween costume :)
That lady pisses me off to think even after all of Escalentes success with his calculus program teachers like her still tried to sabotage him
I think She Jealous and bitter.
I love this movie all he needed and wanted was their desire and want to change and challenge themselves!!! And he prove they could do it!! God bless Jamie for caring 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
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.
Excellent explanation, thank you. :-)
Math.computers and science are the great levelors. Master any one of them and you'll never be hungry...regardless of your race,gender,etc.
"If you don't have the "Ganas", I will give it to you. Because I'm and expert! "
James olmos best movie...
Cartman is an incredible teacher
He reached those keeds.
Amen to this brother
La mera neta es que también tenemos que ser más creativos. Truth’s that we need to be more creative too. Nos encanta estar en las calles, por eso tenemos que hacer las lesiones moviéndonos. We love being in the streets, that’s why we have to teach the lessons in the streets outside in the move.
best movie ever
Damn this movie is 30 years old
Such a good movie
HOW DO I REEACH THESE KEEEEDS
Ganas is like motivation
Interesting how some people in the thread choose to focus on the negative aspects of this scene. One bad teacher shouldn't tank your entire education. But one good teacher makes all the difference in the world. If you stop blaming others for your shortcomings life does get better.
I love this movie.
This movie should be shown at the zoom meetings xD
Seeing this after taking the AP Calculus test. Totally failed 😂😂 May 12, 2020
You took it. Give yourself credit for that.
I took one look at the AP Spanish Exam and simply walked out.
What’s calcoolus?
Dude, you failed on my birthday. No bueno ☺️
May 4th, 2021. I hope I did well!

Girl on the left got shot to death by
LAPD in real life. She pointed a gun at them
0:56 lol you can tell he is tired of being in the school
Ganas is the best kind of tool than any teacher needs
thats all a kid needs in a subject. The teacher saying he's an expert
Every teacher should watch this movie.
Jaime Escalante is a legend!
I love watching this movie
I came to meet him after the filming of this movie..here ik Chicago
A negative times a negative is a positive.
That is an epic combover.
1:21 enter the bureaucrat.
TheLAKERSareGodsTeam , screw it.
GANAS, DESIRE, HAIRCUT 😂
RIP Mr .G Shafter high class of 08
