Classes are small, teaching is often passionate, the boys work hard - 97 out of a class of 263 were offered places at Oxford or Cambridge last year, and 110 are studying Chinese. By custom, to show the respect they want the boys to give it, teachers must mark written work within 24 hours. They're given a lot of latitude on how to teach and are well paid - two-thirds earn over $72,000, plus housing - but they're also expected to coach athletic teams and help with extracurricular activities.

...placated by a campaign promise or two. Aside from a warm-up that referenced the night's festivities, Warner delivered his time-tested stump speech to the crowd, its paeans to the need for education and national security indistinguishable from what he might say to the Milwaukee teacher's association or the Charleston VFW.
