...into it and benefit from it," says Mason. Tom, a fourth-year student, says the school emphasizes excellence so much that "it's quite harsh on people who don't have a talent or field they excel in; it's pretty Darwinistic in that sense. If you don't fit in, that's the guy who will say, 'I'll be the druggie.'" But discipline problems and rebels are not something that particularly surprise or worry Tony Little, the headmaster. The ones he finds vexing are the "soggy" boys who drift without engaging. They're given plenty of chances...

It doesn't have high fructose corn syrup or a lot of the artificial ingredients that fill other kids' cereals, and it has plenty of fiber, calcium and iron. Another quick and healthy option for breakfast: a simple five-ingredient smoothie, made with bananas, milk, peanut butter, honey...
...That fit of pique was another reminder that Jeb's notoriously thin skin is another large part of his legacy - and a potential problem in any presidential bid. Thom Rumberger, a GOP attorney and Jeb friend, calls him "the brightest Governor in this state's history. But to be President he'll need a little moderation and willingness to accept counsel once in a while instead of the my-way-or-the-highway approach he's prone...
