...Mauritius. It's one of a few high-end resorts on the island that, for the first time, allow nonresident foreigners to buy property.

They include students of the month, who get small gifts and, more important, the kind of praise on the school loudspeaker too often missing before. Students who participate in sports and extracurricular activities must attend a Saturday school program - and are urged to bring parents along...
