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
She knew 100% Carter was right, but despite all the evidence (ex: black is black, white is white) she couldn't do it cuz of backlash and feelings. "Oh no, phone is ringing with angry parents, the most important thing is basketball not graduating school!"
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.
This is a perfect time for Coach Carter to be mad: first, the boys sneak out to a party, then, progress reports or report cards with failing grades; he did nothing more than his duty by making the boys meet in the library, also cancelling practices and games.
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.
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.
I also recognized that for example, if they want me to stay after school because I wasn't suppose to do something that is not part of the school policy, I reluctantly did comply with it because at first, I was not sure if I should listen to it, but even if I didn't comply with it, it could have gone either way. Obviously, even though I am not in high school anymore, I hope we realize that doing something that is harmful in our life, it could lead to one thing after another. I am sure we do not see it this way until we start doing it.
I think every school needs a Coach Carter. Somebody who is willing to take action simply for the sake of helping his students succeed in life instead of just coaching them in something as small as high school basketball. To them it may seem big but it's not compared to what the rest of their lives can hold
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!
woman: You challenge them academically? basketball is the highlight of their lives. Carter: I think that is the problem, don’t you? This rings so much truth today in black communities.
Well if I did not finish chores I did not get TV time when I was a kid. The parents don't care enough to discipline their kids and maybe he sees potential in them other than just sports.
I think that was the perfect response, the highlight of their lives should be something like their college graduation, wedding day, getting that big job, to getting a promotion.
"Richmond high school graduates 50% of its students, and of those that do graduate : Only 6% go to college. Which tells me when I walk down these halls and I look in your classrooms, maybe only ... 1 Student... is going to go to college. Well Damn Coach Carter, If I ain't going to college, where i'm gone go ? Now that's a great question, and the answer for young african american men in here is this : Probably to prison. ... In This County, 33% of black males between 18 and 24 get arrested. So look at the guy on your left ... now look at the guy on your right... One of you is gonna get arrested. Growing up here in Richmond, you're 80% more likely to go to prison than college. [...] Now I want you to go home, and look at your lives tonight. Look at your parents lives, and ask yourself Do I want better. If the answer is yes, I'll see you here tomorrow and I promise you I will do everything in my power to get you to college and to a better life."
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.
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.

“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.
It's unclear whether he was Republican or Democrat but it was clear that he did point out issues of the public schools and the issues are still there today

All u need is Cs. If u can't maintain Cs than u don't belong in school at least at the college level

That's what the boys got for caring about basketball more than school: failing.

Those are the stats for yo azzzz
Coach Carter! A speech VERY well said.
One of the greatest movie quotes ever
Hopefully, we would get this message. This isn't easy to realize but not impossible.
It hurts my head how right he is but everyone else is more concerned with basketball then their education and futures.
🤕
That lady who said "Good" at the very end didn't listen to a damn word he said
Basically, we don't care, we just want basketball for this community who won 4 games last year.

Lot of truth in Coach Carter’s words
Accountability is important in education. Something that today's schools lack. I say that as someone who graduated from High School in 22.
If only schools focused more on education than sports
I don't think they felt like that all, but the lockdown changed everything.
@@Frankie-OI beg to differ because I live in a district where some teachers are hired for their coaching and the massive sports venues as large as college stadiums and arenas
The damn principal had even gave up on her students and staff
4:27: “ And this is the only way I know how to do that!”
4:28: * Giant shark appears and snatches coach Carter away*
Well at least he got to finish his sentence this time...
In reality the Richmond principal was a strong supporter of the lock out. She backed Coach Carter from the beginning.
Honestly, I would play for Coach Carter anytime, even if he kills me in practice ❤
Best coach Ever baby

And timo would still be a gangster
I still love the next part where the boys just moved all their desks fro, the library to the gym
Carter with the W
That conversation alone with thr prinipal vindicates why public schools are a joke
This scene was too funny 😂😂
This scene is disappointing.
My parents reaction to my grades back then lol😂
'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 don’t know where’s the library at 😅
LOL 15k views and 3 comments nice xd great clips by the way
What if they failed then we failed
Most difficult time in My life I got straight A's in the Master of Education experience
🅰️
I wanna be Coach then
Stress"less" Ability...
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.
They just give 70s or Cs
That principal would be a typical public school politically correct one....
not sure I get the value of the added text...
This was meant for school.

Very seldom you have a principal that is supportive to the coach
Coach carter is a republican
And a good one he is
Excellence is not a Republican virtue, nor that of any party. It is a habit of the driven man.
There’s always one political asshole. Congrats sam. You made the cut
It's unclear whether he was Republican or Democrat but it was clear that he did point out issues of the public schools and the issues are still there today
A real man doesn’t choose a political party because all political parties are corrupted in which would make the man a corrupted man.
