`STAND AND DELIVER' TEACHER STAYING AFTER ALL

Calculus instructor Jaime Escalante of "Stand and Deliver" fame has changed his mind about leaving Garfield High School and he will continue teaching there for at least two more years.

Escalante, who said three weeks ago that he would resign from the school possibly as early as this June, said Friday that he had a change of heart after meeting with school district officials and receiving more than 500 letters and calls from former students and others. - Los Angeles Times
