There was a school program named after Jaime Escalante and it was dedicated to reaching out to kids from low class families and helping them in math. I was lucky to be chosen for the program and they helped me improve my math skills. This man deserves more recognition.
Those shouldn’t be special programs. That level of curriculum should be available, even mandatory, for all kids. A quality education shouldn’t be like winning the lottery.
It’s sad how the school system screwed over the real Jaime Escalante. Arguably one of the best teachers ever, and he received death threats from the union because his class sizes were too big due to the students wanting his classes. He walked without even a thank you. The math program collapsed after he left.
Lol imagine a bunch of teachers literally threatening to kill you cause you're better at your job than they are. Would've sued and told them whoever still has a problem see me after class 😂
I’ve never even heard of this movie or this individual but it’s clear he had the talent of being able to reach a large group of individuals at the same time by presenting the concept in ways they already understood, and once their minds made that connection he was able to ride the wave. There is an often used analogy about teaching a fish to climb a tree and the point is that each students learn differently. What gets missed in that analogy is sometimes you have teachers that TEACH differently and maybe we shouldn’t dictate teacher only teach 25-35 students in sessions only lasting 45-52 minute daily. Some teachers are better at teaching half that at half that time, some twice that, but requiring twice the time
@@PaladinThizz It's the union and their tactics that did it. Large unions not to messed around with, they will intimidate and kill your family members before going after you. Many of them, particularly public sector ones, are just legalized criminal organizations.
Damn right, if my teachers were mexican and acted like this and walked up to a student to pressure them and subtly mentioned they would break their neck, a few people would learn mighty fast
I don't get that part (I haven't watched the movie). Why would he say something like that, at this point? Is he some academical-vigilante or this word combination means something in the context of the movie?
Love this, he got on their level, spoke their language and gained their respect. One cannot teach until they gain the respect of the students. And body did he gain their respect.
I love the character Angel. He was the smartest student in the class but his way of life often led to lack of self esteem to his abilities. The character development too; willing to go swimming at the beach despite reluctance, walking away from bad friendships despite raging peer pressure, and the determination to be better to the point where he even visit his teacher's house with his grandmother for redemption. Angel was surely a good young man, a smart young man, a man nonetheless.
there is a huge huge machismo peer pressure for guys like angel to NOT care about school, to not be good students , to not excel at academics ..after all who does someone like that probably have in their life as a role model thats a succesful academic?
“Tough guys don't do math, tough guys deep fry chicken for a living.” That hurt cuz I work at Wingstop 😭😭😂 Edit: I'm surprised at how interactive this comment section is even tho its been MONTHS😂.
But he was right. Tough guys aren't Soo cool after all. They drop out of school, work low paying jobs, end up homeless, get locked up and end up dead due to their own false pride. Very sad reality, and it was that way in the barrios. Very sad reality too 😢💔 To everyone reading this: be cool by staying in school. Get a proper education, not a rap sheet. La vida Loca is not living at all. In the end the one who choses to live it will regret it after waking up to reality one day, realizing how foolish they were wasting their life being a clown.
@Paul I don't know about hard but enough to get a nice house next to lake, car, girl and maybe even kids if feeling like it. Couple hours of work 4 to 5 days a week for being able to get everything I want in life is worth it for me. Way better than dying in streets or jail if you ask me.

Bruh his face didn’t light up. He was just thinking about the fact that the teacher just threatened him. How can someone misread the situation that bad
I taught basic algebra to kids in LA as part of part time job I took in 2011 as an assistant in a charter school. Those teachers had a very difficult job. Those students were gifted and downright brilliant. To teachers in the USA who go above and beyond to reach kids who are at risk, respect ✊🏼❤️🇺🇸.
Amazing scene. Not just because of the way the teacher cares for his students, but the way he humanizes math. I have struggled with math my entire life, but him relating it to something as simple as digging a hole and filling it in makes it much easier to understand.
I remember the first time I learned about negative numbers in high school, right before I learned calculus and passed the AP test. Mr. Cartmenez was a great teacher
I think for me it was how my family showed me the thermometer outside the door in the winter, but for negative it was usually the Celsius scale not Fahrenheit
Jaime Escalante, in his movie portrayal, was a bully prick to the students. He was not funny. He cared about his students, but he went over the line a few times with his "comedy."
Dig a hole, that's -2, add a body that's +1, fill the rest of the hole, that's +1 again. Spread the remaining +1 around to cover your tracks. Zero witnesses.
This movie and the story behind it always brings great pride to myself, and I'm sure, many other graduates of Garfield High School, especially those of us that are from roughly the same time period. I got to meet Mr. Escalante, but never his student, instead under one of the teachers that became his hand picked successor, Villavicencio. I didn't go high in math, I was interested more in the other classes such as the social sciences, history, etc but I feel that what he started reverberated throughout the school. For those of us in the AP and Honors classes, we definitely benefitted, and we were the only inner city school in LAUSD that would also compete at a decent level with the richer schools during the Academic Decathlon. I will always be proud of my alma mater!!!
I loved this movie. It shows how people can change when you show and recognize their worth and potential, in short they learn what it means to be valued.
I'm about to turn 50 next month, remember seeing this when it first came out, and just sat down with my 12.5-year-old to watch it again last week. She loved it. It's a timeless movie and proves what a dedicated, strong teacher who loves his students and loves to teach can do. Kids will almost always rise to the level of expectations one sets for them when they know you care! p.s. Saw this after La Bamba and have been in love with Lou Diamond Phillips ever since - lol!
I just turned 45. My sin just turned 17. I taught him this when he was in elementary school. He is in his freshman year of college this year. I adore this film.
Edward James Olmos. On one hand, he can play Mr. Escalante. On the other hand, he can play Lieutenant Martin Castillo. Despite differences between these two characters, he does both roles well. Gifted actor.
My algebra teacher was just like that, everybody liked his class, most people wouldn't miss it and we all learned a lot and had fun at the same time !!!
Mine was Mrs. Deleany. We asked why with other teachers we could never get math and yet we were fluent in Algebra with her. She said she also struggled with math and wanted to show us how she learned. She was the best, so much so a better school transferred her to their school the next semester.
Movie makes me cry every time, he’s really there for the kids when seemingly nobody else is, won’t let em become a lost cause .. not all hero’s wear capes

This movie came out in 1988.. there's a lot of things said here that are considered today as politically incorrect and offensive. In HS and College today, you'd be fired if you said those things.
@@PureAwesomeMess yeah, but how’s he gonna get fired when these kids all live by a code not to tell on anybody? 😂 you think they’re gonna walk into the administration office?
The guy with the pony tail who answers the question correctly was young in this scene. He grew up to be an even better actor. My favorite role is him playing "Henry" on Longmire
This movie came out a very long time ago and I actually met Mr. Escalante - WHAT A GUY! - when I worked at a nuclear plant in Idaho. Had nothing better to do that evening so I went to see him speak. He could teach a snowman how to sell ice cubes. I actually got to speak with him for like 10 minutes. We both learned from each other talking about math / algebra. He was way smarter than I - I had very little calculus in my know how, but was good enough to help a lot of kids get out of trouble with math as he did for those Latino students. I guess I'm saying if you never caught the movie, it's worth seeing! VERY worth seeing! It'll lift your spirits to say the least.
@@repaleonhalo9754 it’s always the privileged white kids that can’t hang in a tough environment. Not saying all white kids aren’t tough, but the ones who end up shooting schools are soft as cake because they never learned to stick up for themselves.
@@j.vinton4039 yes it usually is indeed.. Those videos always start with ' From a place you never expect' Then they show some big mansion of a rich kids family and im like Uh Actually its always these places 😄
If I was still in secondary school and I had a teacher like that I wouldn't trust him at all I will have zero trust in the teacher I won't even raise my hand and if he asks me a math question by saying fill in the problem I would say "pass" or I won't say anything I have difficulty trusting other people because I used to get bullied so if a teacher who is willing to help and teach students expects me to tryst him and open up within a blink of a eye forget it You have to earn my trust
The way he chippers up after he gets the answer to his question, “0”… that always does it for me… I’ve dealt with kids/teens who want to make things difficult and be rebellious towards authority figures. And sometimes you just have to show them how much easier (maybe even enjoyable) things can be when they decide to participate. Many of them just don’t understand how operating on a basis of respect makes everything easier and doesn’t waste anyone’s time.
Loved this movie, it's pure inspiration. Teachers should take some sociology classes in order to understand the classroom culture. Once everyone is on board and feels like a team, it's a collective and inspiring session!
Teachers do take sociology classes, but students who succeed KNOW THAT SCHOOL IS A PLACE FOR EDUCATION. When a student comes to class with a closed mind, why should any teacher even want to teach that person? Make it difficult and you are excluded, as an adult you are fired from your job, that is reality. I taught High School Biology, college Medical Law and Ethics Human Physiology and Anatomy. So who are you explaining how to teach to? Not teachers.
@@christinemeleg4535 yes there in lies the whole thmes of themovie that hes trying to reach kids who come form a culture where theres not alot of value put on school learning..they dont see it as apath to anywhere ..so hes breaking through trying to reach them
I think he was smart but he just wanted to look cool for his homies. You can see the various times he looks at them looking for their disapproval. Also when the teacher laughs at tough guys being fast food workers his face shows that he knows there is truth to that.
He ended up scoring top tier of the test results. A lot of these guys who have strong street smarts are in fact quite book smart if they just put the effort into it.
The class he teaches are for the kids who are far behind all the way to 7th or 8th grade. That's why they are learning and subtract negatives and positives.
The dude had a potential for math, you can see it through the movie. However, he did a lot of bone head things in his life so that's why he acts like one. lol
My sister won tickets to this movie,so I went with her just because it was free. Wow was I ever impressed very good movie and it was based on real events.
I find it hilarious that folks are talking about we need more teachers like this. There could never be teachers like this. Not anymore. Those teachers would get the school sued by sensitive parents talking about “you don’t talk to children that way”. Not to mention all divergent teachers are fired because public school is about test scores, not actually learning. A lot of teachers actually do have better methods but they’re forbidden to use them.
Damn, it sounds like you don’t seem to understand the real underbelly of the international school system. There are plenty of opportunities for inspirational and aggressive teachers to thrive. You’re just only looking at the USA out of city suburbs lol.
The diffusion of confrontational situation when Escelante told Angel "I break you neck like a toothpickkkk" is eye opening. He espected the guy to give him a hard time, but he was sattisfied with the answer and just went away. I think this was an eyeopener for Angel.
This is what teaching should be about. We are the smartest creature on this planet. There are no stupid human beings, just willful ignorance. If you don't know something it's because you choose not to know it. Soak up any information you come across and store it for later.
I still use this example of "dig a hole" and "fill the hole" to teach my grade 9s integers. It's actually quite amazing how simple everyday life examples help make abstract ideas like math much easier.
I went to a business conference once. They had free breakfast beforehand, so I got some food and sat down at a table with just one other person. I looked at the guy and he was a dead ringer for Lou Diamond Phillips. I said "Has anybody ever told you that you look like the actor from La Bamba" and he said "Only every day of my life.".

I think his biggest problem is all his students are 25 and still in high school.
Or the fact that 30 year old high schoolers are struggling with 2 + -2.
What's worse is negative numbers are taught in the 5th or 6th-grade. Why is a highschool class teaching negatives like it's a new concept?
LOL

@@PureAwesomeMess yeah, but how’s he gonna get fired when these kids all live by a code not to tell on anybody? 😂 you think they’re gonna walk into the administration office?
The guy with the pony tail who answers the question correctly was young in this scene. He grew up to be an even better actor. My favorite role is him playing "Henry" on Longmire
His name is Lou Diamond Phillips, I’m pretty sure most people know who Lou Diamond Phillips is...you didn’t even mention him by name 😂
This movie came out a very long time ago and I actually met Mr. Escalante - WHAT A GUY! - when I worked at a nuclear plant in Idaho. Had nothing better to do that evening so I went to see him speak. He could teach a snowman how to sell ice cubes. I actually got to speak with him for like 10 minutes. We both learned from each other talking about math / algebra. He was way smarter than I - I had very little calculus in my know how, but was good enough to help a lot of kids get out of trouble with math as he did for those Latino students. I guess I'm saying if you never caught the movie, it's worth seeing! VERY worth seeing! It'll lift your spirits to say the least.
It's unfortunate that now a days, this teacher would be fired for talking to them like that
Not where i live. Its honestly best to have a teacher the kids laugh with than laugh at. Its how they gain respect.
Teachers here in brazil are like that
Or the kid shoots the whole school
@@repaleonhalo9754 it’s always the privileged white kids that can’t hang in a tough environment. Not saying all white kids aren’t tough, but the ones who end up shooting schools are soft as cake because they never learned to stick up for themselves.
@@j.vinton4039 yes it usually is indeed.. Those videos always start with ' From a place you never expect' Then they show some big mansion of a rich kids family and im like Uh Actually its always these places 😄
Is that the guy who portrayed Richie Valens in La Bamba?
Hugo Xu yes
Hugo Xu Lou Diamond Phillips.
Orale lol
no thats Standing Bear
Yes
"How do I reeeach theze kids."
Wish I had a teacher like that. Would have learned something.
@Hideika he was actually Bolivian. I was surprised when i learned that he wasn't chicano.
If I was still in secondary school and I had a teacher like that
I wouldn't trust him at all I will have zero trust in the teacher
I won't even raise my hand and if he asks me a math question by saying fill in the problem
I would say "pass" or I won't say anything
I have difficulty trusting other people because I used to get bullied so if a teacher who is willing to help and teach students expects me to tryst him and open up within a blink of a eye forget it
You have to earn my trust
Yeah u might of learned what minus 2 is
@@teresadownes2422 by doing what ??
The way he chippers up after he gets the answer to his question, “0”… that always does it for me…
I’ve dealt with kids/teens who want to make things difficult and be rebellious towards authority figures. And sometimes you just have to show them how much easier (maybe even enjoyable) things can be when they decide to participate. Many of them just don’t understand how operating on a basis of respect makes everything easier and doesn’t waste anyone’s time.
So crazy how appearing as a cafeteria worker made you look tough back in the 80’s.
Needs a restored 4k/bluray release
I just realized that my calculus teacher, in my senior year, acted like this guy. It was always fun and never boring. S/o to Mr Lorenzo
No gonna lie
One of the Best educational movies when growing up.
Loved this movie, it's pure inspiration. Teachers should take some sociology classes in order to understand the classroom culture. Once everyone is on board and feels like a team, it's a collective and inspiring session!
It's fiction about a guy who would have been killed acting that way in real life and being such a horrible teacher.
Sociology in college is brainwashing.
Teachers do take sociology classes, but students who succeed KNOW THAT SCHOOL IS A PLACE FOR EDUCATION. When a student comes to class with a closed mind, why should any teacher even want to teach that person? Make it difficult and you are excluded, as an adult you are fired from your job, that is reality. I taught High School Biology, college Medical Law and Ethics Human Physiology and Anatomy. So who are you explaining how to teach to? Not teachers.
Teachers know they can isolate one child to make the rest fall in line. It's easier that way.
@@christinemeleg4535 yes there in lies the whole thmes of themovie that hes trying to reach kids who come form a culture where theres not alot of value put on school learning..they dont see it as apath to anywhere ..so hes breaking through trying to reach them
Fun fact: Just the year before (1987), Edward James Olmos and Lou Diamond Phillips co-starred opposite each other in an episode of Miami Vice.
Great movie, Olmos and Lou Diamond Phillips are great actors.😊
The teacher has an incredible amount of charisma.
I went through LA once and saw Edward James Olmos’s character from this movie painted on the side of a whole downtown building it looked so cool
Beyond being the one of the best movies ever was it was based on a True story of a man's life and his perseverance.
I really didnt think he was going to get the answer right...
I think he was smart but he just wanted to look cool for his homies. You can see the various times he looks at them looking for their disapproval. Also when the teacher laughs at tough guys being fast food workers his face shows that he knows there is truth to that.
He ended up scoring top tier of the test results. A lot of these guys who have strong street smarts are in fact quite book smart if they just put the effort into it.
I came in thinking they’d be learning derivatives and they’re learning -2+2.
Baker Harrington gotta start small lol
He says algebra at the start. So why would you think they're doing calculus?
The class he teaches are for the kids who are far behind all the way to 7th or 8th grade. That's why they are learning and subtract negatives and positives.
Thats quick maths
@@Im_Oblivion Nah man, they do that in every class. Usually in the beginning of a year they go over the basics
I believe net head was the one that got the highest score on the test too. (scored a 5).
Oscar Perez lmao
@@norinrad7676 hes being for real...
The dude had a potential for math, you can see it through the movie. However, he did a lot of bone head things in his life so that's why he acts like one. lol
And the smart girl score one of the lowest. XD Irony
@@FireStormBaller That's because she had to leave during the middle of the exam retake.
0/10 unrealistic. Any teacher says "fill the hole" in a real school and the whole classroom explodes in laughter.
You in middle school or something?
My sister won tickets to this movie,so I went with her just because it was free.
Wow was I ever impressed very good movie and it was based on real events.
Edward James Olmos and Lou Diamond Phillips: love their work. 👍🏼
After seeing this Cartman totally nailed the character
it's great how his combover changes every couple seconds.
Love this guy. Hes a great teacher.
One of the greatest movies ever made.
Great!
No comments?
@@d2_in_yo_mom they have vanished
I find it hilarious that folks are talking about we need more teachers like this. There could never be teachers like this. Not anymore. Those teachers would get the school sued by sensitive parents talking about “you don’t talk to children that way”. Not to mention all divergent teachers are fired because public school is about test scores, not actually learning. A lot of teachers actually do have better methods but they’re forbidden to use them.
Damn, it sounds like you don’t seem to understand the real underbelly of the international school system. There are plenty of opportunities for inspirational and aggressive teachers to thrive. You’re just only looking at the USA out of city suburbs lol.
We need teachers like that
I had a couple teachers like this BECUASE the school I went to was in the top 10 highest dropout rate in high schools in all America.
Because** but you can spell any way u want thou,
in my hood homes we dont make it to highschool you pendejo, odelay
"NOT MY RICHIE"!!!
Richie, Bob, Richie, Bob
"Cmon just Fill the hole" is wild
I only now realized that the guy who played the teacher was Edward James Olmos...
I cheer everytime they mention Angel's test high score in the end of the film.
"Oooh, Finger Man..." 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Man i think we learned this when we were 11 years old, these students look like they are ready for life and only now they learn negative numbers.
My mom went to James A. Garfield back in the day, she would always put this movie on and tell me she was Claudia every time
Cool brother. I hope your mother also inspiring other people in real life just like Claudia scene with her mother.
Lou diamond Phillips shoulda got an Oscar nod for this role he was amazing
The diffusion of confrontational situation when Escelante told Angel "I break you neck like a toothpickkkk" is eye opening. He espected the guy to give him a hard time, but he was sattisfied with the answer and just went away. I think this was an eyeopener for Angel.
I think he De - Escalante'd the situation in a very professional manner
This Brings back memories from watching this movie in middle school
Watching this scene is crazy knowing that one of his students helped put the Perseverance rover on Mars.
Watch this in algebra 1, Edward James Olmos really delivered in this role
"You've done a man's job sir"
Blade Runner
This is what teaching should be about. We are the smartest creature on this planet. There are no stupid human beings, just willful ignorance. If you don't know something it's because you choose not to know it. Soak up any information you come across and store it for later.
Something must have changed in him when he said 0 and the teacher said right and walked away and let him be. I know, i know!
I agree man. I believe he just didnt want to appear smart while his other homies were there.
"Don't look at me puppet" 😂😂😂😂
Admiral Adama before the war. Oraleeeeeeeee.
When the student said that 10 million people are employed and that it’s a negative number I was like I mean he is right 😂
Unemployed
The way he started whispering “fill the hole” made me uncomfortable..
I still use this example of "dig a hole" and "fill the hole" to teach my grade 9s integers. It's actually quite amazing how simple everyday life examples help make abstract ideas like math much easier.
That's because the basics of Math are derived from real life. Math was created to model real life things.
I went to a business conference once. They had free breakfast beforehand, so I got some food and sat down at a table with just one other person. I looked at the guy and he was a dead ringer for Lou Diamond Phillips. I said "Has anybody ever told you that you look like the actor from La Bamba" and he said "Only every day of my life.".
Plot twist. It WAS Lou Diamond Phillips.
@@joshhernandez5069 no plot twist. It was his stunt double
You'd be surprise. I actually met a person who looks just like Gru from Despicable Me. He was chunky but he had the face features.
@@GingerBreadMan1178 did you call him “Gru”
