Situated on Manhattan's ultra-hip Lower East Side, the school is not actually blue, although evidence of its genesis is everywhere.

There's a spectacular water table, with balls and hoses and a Medusa's head of tubes.

...Asian grandmothers clutching shopping bags, girls in leggings lost in their iPod worlds, thirty-somethings in scrubs who got on and off at Charles MGH. But the black passengers seemed changed, somehow. Maybe it was the young black man wearing a shirt of the type that usually has a hip-hop artist plastered across its front, only Tupac’s face was replaced by Barack Obama’s. Or maybe it was the black woman who sat in the seat across from me, beaming when our eyes met. Or maybe it was the word “Obama?...
