STAND AND DELIVER BY MR.ESCALANTE
A INNER CITY COMPUTER SCIENCE TEACHER MEETS THE CHALLENGES OF INNER CITY EDUCATION
       
1) NO  computers, no order in the class, but he finds a way to get into the students heads by creative techniques, while also dealing with gang members.
2) The teacher finds a way to get the students to listen and learn by challenging the individual students using examples the students can relate to. He starts to gain control in the class
3) Mr. Escalante, also challenges the school board with his optomistic attitude that his class can succeed in the face of adversity. Every day he makes contact individually with the troubled students. building positive relationships that bring the students to a higher level of learning. The teachers unwavering attention to the students as a whole and one on one begins to make a difference
4)The film further exposes the students life outside the classroom, exposing their day to day challenges, and how they quite possibly affect  their ability to learn in the classroom. The teacher shows an extraordinary ability to work with the students, that in time changes the lives of nearly every student leading many to succeed.
5) Mr. Escalante soon challenges the school staff by requesting a calculus program for his class but backfires causing a staff member to quit her position. He continues to challenge the troubled inner city kids by adding tougher programs and more class time, turning his class into a very successful educated group.
6) Individually and as a whole, the students begin to shine with aspirations of their future of a better life but not without a struggle. Mr.Escalante’s students one by one show their personal struggle and the teacher shows the ability to handle them individually, but eventually at the price of his own health. suffering from what appears to be a heart attack.
7) Meanwhile as mr. escalante recovers the class improvises by teaching each other, mainly through the effort of the talented students. Soon the teacher is back to see the class take the big exam, and astonishing the faculty with their success, setting new standards of inner city education and the students lives as individuals.
