Why is the the movie Stand And Deliver called that?
'Stand and Deliver' was a dedicated teacher named Jaime Escalante and America's master math teacher. It is about undisciplined and poorly prepared students in Garfield High School failing math among other subjects. Escalante gave them face and the term 'Stand and Deliver' means you stand up for what you think is right, but fight for those that try to put your ideas in the shadows when you deep within you that you can help others. The educational system was failing students in all areas of math and Escalants 'stood up for the rights of the students and 'delivered' by coming to school earlier than he had to be and stayed late helping his students just so they could get passing marks in math. In a calculus exam the Educational Testing Service found the high scores of Escalant's students suspicious so they asked them to repeat the test. All but two students retook the test and had their scores reinstated. Basically Escalants was a model for the other math teachers that soon followed even though Escalants was dogged by Administration, a Janitor complaining that Escalants was in the school too early in the morning and too late at night. Still, Escalants continued on fighting all the way for his students. Escalants and fellow teachers boasted of having 1,000 students to their credit because the program was so successful, but they failed to deliver. In 1990 Esclante's math enrichment program involved over 400 students ranging from algebra to advanced calculus. In 1991 Escalante decided to leave Garfield School and the other math enriched teachers soon followed his suit. Only seven students passed (AB) test that year and four passing the BC Exam down from a high of 85. The movie 'Stand and Deliver' has, for more than a decade been a staple in high school, college classes and faculty workshops. Escalante showed he had faith in the students and he knew by 'standing' in front of them he was determined to 'deliver' the goods ... a new way to make these students feel they were intelligent and a way to make them understand math.
Eventually Escalante came back to Garfield High. ==== ====

The answer to this question is CATHERINE ROERVA PELZER. The book A Child Called It, The Lost Boy, and A Man Named Dave are all books written by Dave Pelzer and are all great books. Also check out his brothers, Richard Pelzer, book- A Brothers Journey. Since Dave got to escape, his mom needed another child to abuse and chose Richard. This is a book about how Richard had to deal with emotional, and physical abuse for a time, then a church family took him in. (David says that in A Man Named Dave)
Not knowing what "get in to trouble" indicates, only a general observation can be made. Anytime a child is neglected, abused or endangered CPS should be notified at once and a thorough investigation done. This includes the child being in what could be indentified as an unsafe or unhealthy environment. For example, living in the same home or being in contact with a known abuser, drug user, someone who engages in criminal activity, and so forth.
A fake book is a book that gives you the general information about how to play a song. It won't be specific and detailed sheet music... more of the general information so that someone who knows a lot about music can quickly "fake" it. :) See this site for further information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fake_book

What are the reasons foster kids leave their foster homes?
Another reason a child could leave a foster home is to be placed in a kinship home. This is when a relative of the child comes forward to take in the child. Typically a home study and background checks must be done on the relatives before the child can be placed in their home.
Sometimes when a child is first placed in foster care there is not a foster home available to take an entire set of siblings. A child can be removed from a foster home to be placed with siblings in another foster home once one becomes available.
Disruptions in placements are sometimes because of behavioral issues. A child who has been abused, neglected and otherwise had an unstable life may have behavioral issues that are threatening or abusive to the other biological or foster children of the fostering family and even to the foster parents. The child's behaviors may be so extreme that the child needs to be placed in a thearaputic foster home or group home.
Although it is often portrayed in the media that foster families are abusive, it is not typical for a child to be removed because of abuse by foster parents. Children who are in foster care often have a variety of attachment and oppositional behaviors leading to false accusations. Even though it is rare, it does happen occasionally.
Sometimes uncontrollable circumstances prevent a family from continuing to foster, such as an accident or health problems, and must have the child removed from their home. There are times when a foster child is not able to "fit in" with a foster family and requests to be moved to a different home.
When a child is deterimined to have Native American heritage, a child may be moved to foster home that is recognized by the child's affiliated tribe.
When the goal of reunification is no longer percieved as attainable, the child can be transitioned to a preadoptive home when the foster parents are not willing or able to adopt the child.
When a child reaches a certain age (it varies by state) the child can become emancipated and establish their own independent living arrangements. Some children also run away from their foster homes.
Children can also be moved to another foster home if the agency or state who has custody of the child determines that a foster family is disruptive to the goal of reunification. A child can be removed from a foster family that does not maintain the licensing requirements for the agency in which they are fostering.
A Good Foster carer will know the benefits of discipline, structure and boundaries, a typical child in foster care does not understand any of these concepts and is used to punishment without reward, parents who give in rather than stick to principles and come and go as they please. Disruption can take place when the child cant take what is good for them and the carer cant enforce it.

Why did Dave Pelzer get divorced?
He divorced first wife Phyllis (called Patsy in his books) because they were never compatible and never really in love. She got pregnant while they lived together, and he never intended in marrying before that. He divorced Marsha because of many things: they fought all the time, he was unfaithful, she spent all their money while he travelled. Bottom line, they fought all the time about everything.
