#STAND AND DELIVER MOVIE#
What makes this story special is that the movie stars Latinos as the heroes. The Main Stand and Deliver characters could’ve been from any ethnic background. It’s the story of leadership, self-determination, and hard work. Stand and Deliver is a movie that anyone can relate to. When her mother told her that guys don’t like smart girls, she replied, “I’m doing this so I don’t have to depend on a guy!” The mother smiles proudly and signs off on her daughter’s class. One student, Claudia, asks her mother to sign the permission form allowing her to take AP Calculus during summer vacation. Jaime says with a lot of gravity, “All you can see is the turn, you don’t see the road ahead…” Sure enough, Pancho learns the lesson and decides to dedicate himself to learning calculus again. As they rapidly approach a fork in the road, Jaime exclaims “Right or left?” Panicked Pancho exclaims, “Go right! Go right!” Jaime swerves right, and the car screeches to a halt in front of a dead end. Jaime drives erratically trying to shift the gears in Pancho’s car. When Pancho tries to quit the class to help out with the family business, Jaime decides to take him on a car ride. The students themselves were very inspirational to watch throughout the movie. He was also kind and caring - it was obvious how much he loved and believed in his students.
He was smart, worked hard, and had succeeded in the world of engineering. He was relatable to the students, speaking Spanish, and coming from the same background. Jaime also related to the students by being a good leader himself. He started off early in the course conveying a sense of history and destiny to the students.
He related to the students through both culture and mathematics. It was very moving how the teacher Jaime Escalante connected with the low-income students who had low hopes for themselves. And the only thing I ask from you is ganas. Desire. You’re going to work harder here than you’ve ever worked anywhere else. Math is the great equalizer… When you go for a job, the person giving you that job will not want to hear your problems ergo, neither do I. He teaches teenagers to believe in themselves through algebra and calculus. It’s the story of how a new teacher shows a motley group of students in the inner city with backgrounds as gang members, dishwashers, and mechanics - the power of self-determination. Stand and Deliver is an inspirational classic from 1988 starring Edward James Olmos as Jaime Escalante, and his class of rag tag students in East Los Angeles.
