      Jaime saved lives. He was there for those kids. I realize that they probably didn't think about organizing a huge protest at that time, but in the future, that is what we need to start doing. If someone saves my life, I'm not going to turn my back on them later. Former President Jimmy Carter saved my life. I had a pregnant girl friend, but no way to feed her and our baby when Mr. Carter was the President. Mr. Carter got me into a program called C.E.T.A. where I earned money for working and going to college. He saved our lives, and I never betrayed him. No matter what, I will always commend Mr. Carter and view him as being the very best president our country has ever had.

    Garfield High School, SHAME ON YOU! For kicking this man out of your school! Because he was a light! He shined! And that exposed your mediocrity!!! You took the effort and time to have a meeting and have a vote for him to be purged from your school! What a disservice to him and his students and future students!

    • @guitarttimman
      @guitarttimman 5 лет назад +12

      The students should've all protested. They should've stood in front of that school by the thousands with signs that displayed "BRING BACK JAIME ESCALANTE." He had their backs, they should've had his. That's the beauty about being in America. We can do that! I guarantee you if thousands of kids would have refused to go to school and stood out in front of the school with signs like that, he would have never been terminated. Why do we allow miscreants to run our country? We are supposed to be a democracy. We are supposed to have free speech and the right to revolt, yet nobody does it? I have very good teaching strategies too, and I was once a proven expert at calculus. What's wrong with Americans? We should not take that crap from anyone!

      Juan Cena you can easily do it Juan. algebra is about understanding that the Left side must always equal the Right side of the equation. L=R. if you change the L then you must also change the R in order to balance the equation. it's like scales. please believe me, your brain is just as good as Einstein's. Einstein famously said "it's not that I am smarter. I just stay with the problem longer". just stay with it. strive to understand the rule if algebra and the rest of the problems will follow. I wish you the best.

      I know you are saying crappy in jest. However, as another guy who is going on 34 and about to graduate a crappy community college and go in to a crappy public university. The professors at the community want you to succeed and love to teach. The professors love teaching so much, they went to school to get their masters just so they did not need to teach in k-12. I passed calculus with a B thanks to my wonderful professor.
