in the scene which He teaches "finger man" how to multiply nines when he gives him the finger and is disrespecting him. Hes taking a negative and making it a positive while showing dominance so his students will respect him.

In the scene in which he makes all of the students repeat the math he wants them to remember such as the negatives to engage the whole class and make sure everyone remembers it.

"they will rise to the expectations set for them" says the teacher when all of the teachers on the board are truing to give up on their students,so hes not only teaching kids but the teachers as well.

in the scene in which he gives the Mexican boy extra books so no one knows he is working to show he supports the kid and wants to help him work.

in the scene in which he makes students that don't do their work sit in a chair in front of the whole class so they have a reason to do there work because they don't understand the value in doing it in the first place.

in the scene in which he went to a students family restaurant to get her parents to let her stay in school because they wanted her to stay home and work, this shows his dedication to all students.
