I'm Alex Villarreal with the VOA Special English Education Report, from http://voaspecialenglish.com | http://facebook.com/voalearningenglish
Today we remember a man who was considered one of the best teachers in the United States. Jaime Alfonso Escalante was born in nineteen thirty in La Paz, Bolivia. Both his parents were teachers. He taught math and science in his home country for twelve years. In the nineteen sixties, Jaime Escalante and his wife Fabiola came to the United States. During the next several years, he learned to speak English and repeated his college education and teacher training. In nineteen seventy-four, Mr. Escalante was hired at Garfield High School to teach mathematics. The school was in a poor area of Los Angeles, California. Many of the students had serious problems with illegal drugs, gangs and violence. The school was in danger of losing its official approval to operate.Mr. Escalante's students were mostly Mexican-Americans from a Spanish-speaking area of the city. Many were the worst students at the school and thought to be "unteachable." But Mr. Escalante pushed the group to work hard. He told them basic math was too easy and that they had the ability to do harder work. He told his students that he believed in them, but they must have the desire to be successful.Jaime Escalante started an advanced math program with a small group of students. Advanced Placement is a program of college-level classes and tests. In nineteen eighty-two, eighteen of his students took the Advanced Placement test in calculus. They all passed. Officials at the testing company suspected the students of cheating. Mr. Escalante protested. He said the students were being rejected because they were Hispanic and from a poor school. He urged his students to take the test again. Twelve of the students repeated the test. And again, all of them passed. Five earned top scores. Mr. Escalante's students went on to become engineers, scientists and university professors. The advanced math program at Garfield became extremely successful over the next several years.Jaime Escalante received many teaching awards including the Presidential Medal of Excellence in Education. A movie about his success, "Stand and Deliver," was released in nineteen eighty-eight. It influenced other teachers to use his methods. Jaime Escalante retired from teaching in nineteen ninety-eight and later moved back to Bolivia with his wife. He died earlier this year. He was seventy-nine years old.

Jaime Escalante
Jaime Alfonso Escalante Gutierrez (December 31, 1930 – March 30, 2010) was a Bolivian educator known for teaching students calculus from 1974 to 1991 at Garfield High School, East Los Angeles, California. Escalante was the subject of the 1988 film Stand and Deliver, in which he is portrayed by Edward James Olmos.
In 1993, the asteroid 5095 Escalante was named after him.
Career
Escalante was born to two teachers of Aymara ancestry on December 31, 1930 in La Paz, Bolivia. He was proud of his Aymara heritage and as an adult would proudly proclaim "The Aymara knew math before the Greeks and Egyptians". He taught mathematics and physics for 12 years in his mother country before immigrating to the USA. After immigrating, "he had to work many odd jobs, teach himself English and earn another college degree before he could return to the classroom." In 1974, he began teaching at Garfield High School. Escalante eventually changed his mind about returning to work when he found 12 students willing to take an algebra class.

Keywords: 1980s, authority, barrio, based-on-true-story, calculus, cheating, chicano, combover, coming-of-age, dedicated-teacherGenres: Drama,
Taglines: At a tough school, someone had to take a stand...and someone did. Together, one teacher and one class proved to America they could...Stand and Deliver. In 1982, a new troublemaker hit Garfield High. He was tough. He was wild. He was willing to fight. He was the new math teacher. A true story about a modern miracle.
Quotes:
[Jaime is using girlfriends as the variables in an algebraic equation]::Raquel: Can you have negative girlfriends?::Jaime Escalante: No, only negative boyfriends. Forgive us, for we know not what we do.Angel: Hey, Kemo, you should be proud of me, man! I'm the first dude here. What's calcoolus?
Angel: Yeah, I have the same answer as gordita.::Lupe: Don't call me gordita, pendejo.
Jaime Escalante: Do you want me to do it for you?::Pancho: Yes.::Jaime Escalante: You're supposed to say no.
Jaime Escalante: My kids could teach you a thing or two, Johnny.
Jaime A. Escalante: You're like a blind man in a dark room looking for a black cat that isn't there!
Jaime Escalante: You only see the turn, you don't see the road ahead.
Jaime Escalante: If we discuss sex, I have to give sex for homework.
Jaime Escalante: [to his students]... There will be no free rides, no excuses. You already have two strikes against you: your name and your complexion. Because of those two strikes, there are some people in this world who will assume that you know less than you do. *Math* is the great equalizer... When you go for a job, the person giving you that job will not want to hear your problems; ergo, neither do I. You're going to work harder here than you've ever worked anywhere else. And the only thing I ask from you is *ganas.* *Desire.* [Passing one boy, he ruffles up the student's hair] And maybe a haircut. [Everyone laughs] If you don't have the *ganas,* I will give it to you because I'm an expert.
Jaime Escalante: ...Did you know that neither the Greeks nor the Romans were capable of using the concept of zero? It was your ancestors, the Mayans, who first contemplated the zero. The absence of value. True story. You *burros* have math in your blood... A negative times a negative equals a positive. Why? [the whole class looks at him blankly; he sighs deeply and shakes his head] We're gonna need a lot of Kleenexes - there's gonna be a lot of bloodshed.

Legendary East L.A. math teacher Jaime Escalante dies at 79
March 30, 2010 | 5:07 pm
Legendary Garfield High School math teacher Jaime Escalante, who was immortalized in the film "Stand and Deliver," died Tuesday afternoon after battling cancer.
Escalante died at 2:27 p.m. at the home of his son, Jaime Jr., in Roseville, Calif., said actor Edward James Olmos, who portrayed Escalante in the film.
"He was surrounded by his children and grandchildren," said Olmos, who drove Escalante from a Reno hospital Monday night to Roseville.
Olmos said he was notified by the family several minutes after Escalante died.
Escalante, 79, helped turn the math program at the East Los Angeles high school into one of the top programs in the nation.
A full obituary will be published shortly.Jaime didnt just teach math. Like all great teachers, he changed lives, said Edward James Olmos in a special appeal for Escalante. He says Escalante had love and dedication for all of his inner-city students and thought that each of his students was gifted. Olmos, who played the role of Escalante (Kimo) in the film, says that under the teaching of Escalante, Gang members became aerospace engineers. Kids who had spent their youth convinced their lives didnt matter discovered they were leaders.
Cast members as well as Olmos have put together a fundraiser to help Escalante and his family with further treatments. Vanessa Marquez, a cast member of Stand and Deliver said in an interview that $5,000 has been raised, but $25,000 is still needed.
[Lets] make his final days as comfortable as possible—and maybe even give him a chance to beat the cancer, said Olmos.
