What is Stand And Deliver?
1.
1) Phenomenal book and documentary about Jaime Escalante and his success in turning a class of 18 barrio students struggling with basic math from East L.A. in the poor public school of Garfield High into math enthusiasts who would go on to pass the AP Calculus Exam.
2) To give a good speech or lecture.
3) To assume a sexual position.
1) Escalante's famous math enrichment program would attain an apex of 85 students and many faculty members. His ability to turn a group of poorly prepared, undisciplined students into strong calculus practitioners is a shining light into the potential of teaching capability in the area of math and, eventually, the end of math anxiety among struggling students.
2) John Edgar Wideman, famous novelist and essayist, gave an incredible lecture and preliminary text reading of his work at my university recently. He stood and delivered!
3) "Hey baby! I see you looking at my goods. Do you want a sample? . . . Come over here. Stand and Deliver!"
