Stand_&_Deliver

Stand & Deliver Stand and Deliver The movie Stand and Deliver is about the public education system in not-so-good parts of Los Angeles. The movie actually takes place during the 1980’s. The movie starts as a new Hispanic teacher enters a school to teach a group of misfit kids about math. Despite giving up a higher paying career, he feels passionate that he can get through to these kids. He came with different ethics and strategies for teaching than the usual teachers and staff, which comes off as hard, but fair. This was the only hope knowing that the school was losing its accreditation. Everyone looked low on these kids and assumed that they were not capable of much, which is already kind of condemning the students. The new teacher would not give up on these kids and would do all he could to ensure their success. Things weren’t going too well for Garfield High School. It was basically like a zoo. Teachers didn’t have any real commitment or passion about these kids; they just did what they had to get paid. Some teachers weren’t even qualified for their area of teaching.
