"Stand And Deliver" is a good movie and it's based on a true story. Not one for kids mind you but definitely good. At the point of this quote a certain class of students are accused of cheating on an important exam.
Angel: Okay. {He gets up and walks to the accusers} We're busted, why don't we just admit it?
Accuser1: How'd you do it?
Angel: I got the test ahead of time. I passed it out to everyone else.
Accuser2: How did you get the test?
Angel: Mailman.{Paused} I strangled him, his body's decomposing in my locker. {Holds up his knuckles to basically say- just playin' you, now leave us alone}
People shouldn't be judged. And I KNOW I've judged before, but I try not to. This story is about poor kids that didn't have much of a future before a certain teacher taught them and when they pass an important exam they're accused of cheating because that school wasn't an "up-to-par". Miracles can happen in every way and in all sorts of shapes.

The real Jaime Escalante - who is the math teacher portrayed in that film - passed away not too long ago.
It's one of my favorite films, too.
