So he instead chose a spot beneath the foothills of Mount Kenya, where land is cheap and his teachers, half of whom are Kenyan, are willing to work for salaries as low as $5,000 a year. The focus is on boys (who more often than girls pose disciplinary problems) in the seventh and eighth grades. "That's when we lose them," says Embry.

(And not that fake, toothy thing they do for the judges after they finish a routine-you know the smile that accompanies the pose that looks vaguely like the pee-pee dance?)
