[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm guessing you don't understand social science.

Saying the best marathoners come from East Africa is also neither racist nor invalidated by the existence of world-class marathoners originating from elsewhere.

Anyway, this is all a digression. I'm not the original poster about the appearance of the moms.

One thing I admire about Mann is that it routinely successfully assimilates children who speak no English. This isn't terribly uncommon since the neighborhood is so international. (Most ambassador children speak English, but this is not as true for non-embassy staff.) The children seem to take no more than a month getting acclimated and then they fit right in, language and all.

This is probably more a comment on the children than the school, but whatever role the school plays it is doing it well. [/quote]

It really has to do with the number of children per classroom who need extra attention from the teacher.  If it's a few, everybody does well.  If it's half, everybody suffers.  They've studied this in the Montgomery County system.
