Line 1: − {{merge|Jaime Escalante}}+ − − '''Jaime Escalente''', (1930-2010), Bolivian-born math teacher whose outstanding teaching methods were showcased in "[[Stand and Deliver]]". − He told students they could succeed if they had desire (''ganas''). − Escalente attracted press attention when a dozen of his students passed the Advanced Placement Calculus test, but their scores were questioned. ETS said they had a similar pattern of answers and accused them of cheating. Escalante had the students take the test again under direct ETS supervision, and their scores were even higher. − − *I wanted to work with young people. That's more rewarding for me than the money.
