The weather seems to have changed so the class is move to a room that was supposed to be air-conditioned. Mr. Escalante hands out the placement test. He talks about the class being on different days.  One of the students walks out in the middle of class and Mr. Escalante makes fun of her. He follows her down the hall way and apologizes. He tries to teach the kids but he just expects them to do better without listening to them. He insults the kids for getting all of the wrong. After his mild heart attack he still goes to class to teach the kids. One of the methods he uses involves the kids lining up against the wall and answering calculus problems. If someone gets it wrong they go to the end of the line. His car gets stolen so he has to walk home. He passes a biker a restaurant and he also passes over a bridge. He believes he made a mistake by teaching them calculus because the state believes the kids cheated on. “you are the true dreamers and dreamers can accomplish everything”.
