      lesser-known films that represent the nation in the United States

      If it hadn’t been recommended by teammates, they wouldn’t have noticed it, because few people watched it, resources and subtitles were hard to find, and the subtitles that could be found had a high error rate, which affected viewing. In addition to English, there were a lot of Spanish dialogues, and I would watch them without subtitles. I don't understand, so my teammates simply made subtitles for me, moved?

      "Teacher's Table"

      The film is based on a true story set in a Los Angeles high school dominated by the children of South American immigrants. Iskrate, who used to work in a computer company, came to the school to teach in order to fulfill his ambition. Because the school was short of funds and had no computers, he had to change to teach mathematics. He used his powerful teaching method to tame the rude students led by Philip, and helped them pass the skipping exam with high marks, but was unexpectedly...

      One of the masterpieces of the film as a teacher

      Let’s talk about the background first, movies in the education industry. There are many movies with teachers educating students as the background, famous ones include: Dead Poets Society (1989), Good Will Hunting (1997)…

      In addition, there are: Spring in the Cattle Class (2004) La cage aux rossignols (1945) [Old version of Spring in the Cattle Class] Good Morning, Miss Dove (1955) The Sound of Music Music (1965) Up the Down Staircase (1967) My Love My Teacher To Sir, with Love (1967)...

      Stand and Straight

      The teacher in the film is selfless for the students, not only his spare time and energy. For the future of the students, for the students who are not enterprising, for the students who are arranged by their parents to drop out.

      Today, my colleagues said the meaning of the word "selflessness", for the sake of collective selfless sacrifice, or to put one's own interests second. There is no doubt that this teacher can be said to be selfless. He was originally a computer teacher, but...

      A good education is to give good seeds a chance to blossom and bear fruit

      Good seeds will always take root and sprout at the right time, and good education is to give good seeds a chance to blossom and bear fruit.

      The film is based on a true story. The original protagonist of the story passed away in 2010, but the ideas conveyed by the film will live on forever.

      Many people like to watch miraculous stories, counterattacks, and full-fledged plots, but reality flows slowly bit by bit, and there is no miracle that suddenly changes. The turning point is...

      The amazing teacher led a group of mischievous students to create academic miracles, but was challenged by cheating. Double discrimination, for Hispanic students and math teachers with no teaching experience, the rationale for the argument is that retesting is required to clear the...

      In this society, there is not only racial discrimination but also a kind of education discrimination. The Spanish-speaking high school children passed the AP exam through the tireless teaching of the teacher Iscolante. Students and teachers are mutually beneficial and...

    Movie quotes

    • Chuco: Lots of stars up there, Homey. Not too polluted.

      Angel: The stars aren't really there, ese. No, what you're looking at is where they used to be, man. It takes the light a thousand years to reach the Earth. You know, for all we know, they burned out a long time ago, man. God pulled the plug on us. He didn't tell nobody.

      Chuco: The stars are out there, homeboy. I don't care what you say.

    • Angel: [while Escalante is cooking dinner] Why don't we order out?

      Jaime Escalante: [Escalante looks at him incredulously]

      Angel: I'm kidding, man!

    • Jaime Escalante: Either I teach calculus next year, or have a good day.

      Raquel: Well, if this man can dictate terms to us, I see no reason for me to continue as department chair.
