Jaime Escalante, educator!
By 1987, 83 students passed the AB version of the exam, and another 12 passed the BC version. That was the peak for the calculus program.
In 1988, a book, Escalante: The Best Teacher in America by Jay Mathews, and a film, Stand and Deliver, were released based on the events of 1982.
