Unhappy Jaime Escalante passed today

He lost his battle with cancer today at the young and tender age of 79.

If you all recall, his work with public school students was captured in "Stand and Deliver," which was kind of like the Hispanic version of "Lean On Me."

Rest in peace.

As a former Calculus teacher, I love the movie about Jaime. How many Calculus movies are there? It just shows what can be done when the talent is there.

He was brilliant. I show Stand and Deliver to my Spanish classes every year.
