The Real Jaime Escalante

According to Washington Post, Dec. 12, 1982, Jaime Escalante was teaching math at Garfield High School since 1974, a full 5 years before the 1979 class that would catch the attention of the Educational Testing Service of Princeton, NJ.

"Escalante was born to two teachers on December 31, 1930 in Oruro, Bolivia. He taught mathematics and physics for 12 years in his mother country before emigrating to the USA." Wikipedia.com
