问题    Jaime Escalante was born on December 31, 1930 in La Paz, Bolivia. Following in his parents’ footsteps, Escalante became a teacher as well. In the 1960s, he left Bolivia to seek a better life in America.
   Determined to teach in America like he had back home, Escalante taught himself English and earned another college degree. In 1974, Escalante took a job teaching math at Garfield High School in East Los Angeles known for troubled students with horrible home lives. He strove to bring his kids to their full potential, working with them to help them understand mathematics. Soon, he started an advanced math program for many of his students. He worked them hard, teaching them Calculus and making them show up to school an hour early each day and stay late after school was over.
   Then, in 1982, his largest class of students took an advanced placement test in Calculus and every single one of them passed. However, officials at the testing company suspected the students of cheating. Escalante was outraged. He said the students were being rejected because of their Hispanic (西班牙) names and poor backgrounds. This sparked an idea in Escalante. He was determined to keep his students’ confidence and self-esteem high, so he convinced them to retake the advanced placement test. This time, the test would be even harder, so Escalante made his students stay even later after school and forced them to practice their equations over and over again, encouraging them to study hard so they could prove to the world that they are capable of accomplishing.
   The students took the test and the scores arrived—every student passed with flying colors. This was the greatest event in the history of Garfield High School.
