Review of Stand & Deliver (2001) by Thomas R — 26 Sep 2008
Indeed a diamond in the rough...old movie but it is timeless..Based on actual events about the math teacher Jaime Escalante. It is a moving story about real life heroes like Escalante determined to open the minds and souls of low income Hispanic students in East Los Angeles (one of the most dangerous areas of LA).
Escalante refuses to write off his poor students as losers. He inspires, cajoles, pushes, and threatens a group of Latin kids who barely know how to spell calculus to become math wizzards!! Jaime Escalante is the Rocky of the classroom!! TWO THUMBS WAY UP!! Part of my private collection.
