...Mexico, the members of the Harvard Tai Chi Tiger Crane Club were eating fried scorpions in China. Jaime Gaurnaccia ’08, David Henderson ’07, Thomas Lowe ’05, Brenda Wong, the fitness trainer at the Business School, and high school senior Jimmy Cheung traveled East for intersession with Master Yon Lee, who’s been the club’s teacher and senior advisor for 20 years. In China, they got to participate in a photo shoot for a local newspaper, celebrate the Chinese New Year with a group...
...teacher must feel confident in the subject to veer from the rote learning that turns so many students off. At Frick Middle School in Oakland, Calif., science teacher Caleb Cheung turned seventh-graders into inquisitive crime-scene investigators when he introduced a unit last fall on cells and microscopes. Students arrived in class to find an empty birdcage and a ransom note--someone had apparently kidnapped Cheung's pet doves, Herbert and Angel.

...Cheung's school district, as in many others across the country, science instruction has been losing out in some grades to math and language arts, the subjects that are currently tested under the federal No Child Left Behind law.

That gives...
...themes and stories. Like Herzog, Wong keeps making the same movie; his subject is love, how it hurts, and how beautiful a sight that pain can be. Like Bergman, he has made a sequel to a favorite earlier film. In the 2000 romance In the Mood for Love, Maggie Cheung and Tony Leung Chiu-wai circled each other in slo-mo for an hour and a half, and their almost-touching sparked more erotic heat than a dozen Jenna Jameson epics. In the new film Leung plays a harsher version of the same character, as he languishes in room...
