I had heard a few days, maybe a week ago that he was dying of cancer, but then I saw the story on the news last night that he had passed.
I was shocked by this. What a great man we've lost.
RIP.

The guy was an inspiration. He told a bunch of kids whom everyone else had written off that by putting effort into it, they could accomplish something: learning calculus and passing the AP exam. And so they did.

We need more of Jaime Escalante.

What a loss. A great inspiration to many.

If anything, I am glad this guy has left a legacy that will continue in teachers inspired by him, and the students he taught.

They featured him on NPR this morning. Sounds like the school is right back where it was when he got there.....
