I like how her solution is to just give up and not try.

This reminds me of a teacher I had my sophomore year. I had Algebra and was horrible at it. I made mostly D's and F's with a few bright spots-some C-'s on quizzes and tests. Our teacher suddenly had to leave for personal reasons. This new teacher came it. He didn't care if you failed as long as you tried he would pass you. I still did horribly on homework, quizzes and tests but he would tell me "don't worry I'll pass you". Well he was only temporary and was replaced by another teacher who was permanent. I think her name was Ms. Aiken. I got use to sliding by. But Ms. Aiken didn't put up with any BS. The first quiz I failed she called my parents and told them I needed help. She said she would be happy to stay after school to help me everyday for as long as it took to get me on track. Short story is I became obsessed with Algebra. I had been a failing student. I became an "A+" student in her class. She actually TAUGHT me. She's probably the best math teacher I ever had. Teachers like that are hard to come by but I will always remember her.

And that right there is the problem. Don't underestimate youth. They don't know their limits. Until they've been pushed.

I've met few teachers like Mr. Escalate. They're still in my head, and still inspire me till this day. I want to make them proud and show them their efforts were not in vain.

This actually mirrors real life. People think they are so smart and if you don't listen they just walk out. This scene is a lot better written than it appears.

Raquel's solution is to stay the course and make up excuses like "we can't do anything without more resources". And then when the resource, a good teacher like Mr. Escalante, does come in she doesn't know what to do bc all she's ever done is make up excuses.

I love that the PE teacher was always so cool with Mr. Escalante.

Thing is, a lot of countries teach calculus as part of the curriculum. Bolivia did so, as well, from memory. He knew he could teach it because he and his classmates had learned the subject.
