Mr. Escalante is a very dedicated teacher. He has the desire to prove to the school and the students that they can do calculus. He spends all his time teaching. Sixty hours a week plus more and when he starts having problems with his wife he still don’t back down. He even starts teaching English to older people. Even during Mr. Escalante’s mild heart attack he is still thinking about his students and wants another doctor because the first one said he should have no work related activities. He immediately gets back to school even though he should be in bed. When they accuse the students of cheating it breaks Raymonds heart. I think at first he believes that they did cheat. He even goes to the board and tries to do whatever he can to set things straight. He gets insulted when they ask him to let the students retest, which is totally understandable, but he wants to prove them wrong because he is so dedicated to these students. They all pass and there are no misunderstandings this time. Mr. Escalante is an amazing teacher. All teachers should have the drive to teach their students like he does. This was an amazing movie and it made me cry.
Such a good movie even though I have seen it a million time very time I watch it I get drawn back in and I.m so amazed at what I great teacher.
