President. the Sunday edition of the Washington Post featured an article entitled "Dedicated California Teacher Turns Students Into Calculus Whizzes." This article was written about an outstanding teacher who has proved that the Nations education problems can be solved by dedication and hard work. Press accounts treated the work of this teacher. Mr. Jaime Escalante. a Bolivian immigrant as highly unusual. His students. from a disadvantaged Hispanic area in East Los Angeles. scored so high on the national advanced placement calculus test that the students were requested to repeat the exam. That achievement contrasted sharply with the former reputation of the school as a hotbed of truancy and gang warfare.
