It has come to the my conclusion that Mr. escalante does not involve any bad teaching, this is based on personal perspective, but in every scene where kimo comes across as too harsh, or belittling his students, he manages to always make a strong point of the situation, which is shy he is the way he acts the way he is. He is using his methods to encourage his students to try harder and do better. He challenges them.
Examle:
Pancho is trying to solve a calculus problem , but becomes overwhelmed and as kimo that he is the dumbest person in class and that he would sacrifice himself for the team by basically letting him go, he is weighing down the team. Kimo mocks pancho by telling him how heartbroken he is and a noble sacrifice for the sake of the team. Later that night kimo and pancho are riding in his car and they are coming to a fork on the road when kimo ask pancho turn right or left, in a frantic state pancho yells right. they come to a dead end road and Kimo tells pancho all you see is the turn, you don't see the road ahead. this lesson learn keeps pancho in school and working even harder at calculus.
another example is when kimo exposes claudia about her boyfriends. claudia is upset because he humiliates her in front off class. Claudia runs out of the classroom and tells him she is tired off him using her own personal life to entertain the class. Kimo runs after her and offers comfort and support.
He is showing that he is a good teacher by caring not only in class but also their lives , in and out off the class room,no matter what happens.
