海梅埃斯卡蘭特
海梅埃斯卡蘭特是一位來(lái)自玻利維亞的教師。他于1963年來(lái)到洛杉磯。那時(shí)，他33歲，幾乎一點(diǎn)英語(yǔ)都不會(huì)講。
對(duì)埃斯卡蘭特來(lái)說(shuō)，在美國(guó)的生活是艱苦的。在加利福尼亞他不能做老師，他不得不再次去讀大學(xué)。這花了他許多年，但他堅(jiān)持下來(lái)了。為了在學(xué)習(xí)的同時(shí)養(yǎng)家糊口，他在餐廳打工。最終，在43歲時(shí)，他開(kāi)始在洛杉磯的加菲爾德高中工作。這所學(xué)校名聲很壞，有很多小流氓，學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)也不好。很快，埃斯卡蘭特改變了這一切。
埃斯卡蘭特與他的學(xué)生們一起努力。他教他們數(shù)學(xué)，他用他自己的方法，這些方法很靈。學(xué)生們很喜歡學(xué)習(xí)數(shù)學(xué)。1982年，他學(xué)生中的十四位通過(guò)了高等數(shù)學(xué)的考試。沒(méi)有人相信這一切。人們說(shuō)這些學(xué)生一定作弊了。學(xué)生們要證明自己沒(méi)有作弊，他們又重新參加了考試，他們又通過(guò)了。這樣的事在像加菲爾德這樣的學(xué)校簡(jiǎn)直是奇跡！這些都是海梅埃斯卡蘭特的功勞。
每年埃斯卡蘭特都培養(yǎng)出頂尖的學(xué)生。人們把他當(dāng)作美國(guó)最好的老師之一，甚至有一部電影和一本書(shū)講述了埃斯卡蘭特的故事。
