Editorial Review:
Look at the too-cool-to-cope kids in Jaime Escalante's class at East L.A.'s tough Garfield High and many will say they see a bunch of losers. Escalante sees scholars. How he cajoles instructs challenges and inspires his no-expectations barrio kids to pass the daunting Calculus Advanced Placement Test forms the amazing heart of Stand and Deliver [Side A] starring Edward James Olmos and Lou Diamond Phillips. Paterson New Jersey's Eastside High is the setting for Lean on Me [Side B] starring Morgan Freeman as bat-and-bullhorn-toting principal Joe Clark whose controversial methods turned the failing school around and made Clark a national symbol of tough-love education. His message: Don't lean on excuses drugs or anger. Lean on yourself and me...and learn. School's now in session with these two true-life tales!Running Time: 212 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA UPC: 012569837706 Manufacturer No: 83770
Stand and Deliver/Lean on Me Reviews:
TWO INSPIRING LESSONS FOR THE PRICE OF ONE! 
2008-07-20 - The two films included on this disc are based on true stories of dedication and determination. These "against the odds" school dramas are very likable with memorable performance by both leads in each film. Both movies are presented in widescreen with very good DVD transfers.
Little defect 
2008-06-26 - On one side of my dvd, it had a scratch. At the end of the movie it skipped
Stand and Deliver
2008-03-05 - Enjoyed this movie. Was a requirement for a class I was taking, but worth my time.
Amazing Real Life Stories
2008-01-09 - My family and I enjoyed both stories. Everyone needs to see these movies.

Two excellent movies for the cost of one!
2007-07-29 - [ASIN:B000K2UGZM Stand and Deliver/Lean on Me] I volunteer in a juvenile detention facility, usually helping teenagers with their school work. They are not allowed newspapers or television, but they do watch videos. I purchased these because they are based on true stories and I hoped they might be inspiring for the kids.
Not only do they inspire the kids, but they seem to inspire the teachers as well!
I believe these DVDs would be excellent for any parent and preteen-to-teenage child.
It is well worth the cost to purchase these.
