...employees to reapply for their jobs. New principal Joanne Cockrell, an intense former math teacher and basketball coach, rehired a third of the faculty and brought in 70 new teachers. All had to be willing, she says, "to give up their private time." Cockrell instituted a strict dress code and in her first year dragged 250 kids and their parents into truancy court. She also split the school into four specialized programs, each with a guidance team that would tightly track its students until they graduated...
...family's less-than-scholarly choice of reading material. Jennifer Ching Moff, a third-grade teacher at Sacramento's Woodbine Elementary who has logged 220 visits since the beginning of the program, lives in a suburb and ordinarily would not spend her after-school hours in a ZIP code where her pupils reside.

I have no answer to the obvious question - what do they do for a second season? - but show this unusual will be lucky to make it that...
...indignities of an immigrant growing up in Australia. A 30-year lifer who has run just about every Ford fief on the planet, he is a relentless taskmaster with a passion for machines, Savile Row suits and exquisite watches (he has 120 at last count). He lives the code of today's global corporate warrior, perpetually moving through time zones and making deals...
...Luhrmann--the mad Aussie who, in his 1996 Romeo + Juliet made Shakespeare play like a psychedelic rap video. The idea here was to take a plot that crosses 42nd Street with Camille and, he says, "steal bits of culture from the 20th century and use it to make a code, a software, to access emotion and character...
