(CBS) This article from The New Republic was written by Franklin Foer High school reunions are inherently unkind. But, for John Kerry, the fortieth gathering of the St. Paul's class of 1962 was particularly bad. The key episode took place in a Concord, New Hampshire, restaurant, not far from the school itself. Kerry wasn't at the dinner. That, however, didn't prevent him from looming over the evening. Toward the meal's end, the class president, a Boston lawyer named Lloyd Macdonald, rose to give a toast. He wanted to celebrate his classmates who had devoted their careers to public service. As he ticked off the names - FBI Director Robert Mueller; the State Department's top lawyer, Will Taft; federal Judge Alvin A. Schall - the sexagenarians bathed the room in loud applause. But, when Macdonald uttered the name of the junior senator from Massachusetts, the response was somewhat different. According to witnesses, only scattered boos broke the silence. Kerry didn't leave boarding school a popular man. Forty-two years after the fact, many of his classmates still mock him. They chide him for being a teachers' pet and a selfish hockey player. ("What you need to remember," says Macdonald, "is that John never passed [the puck].") In fact, they dislike him so much that they've frequently helped his political opponents. Haven Pell, a St. Paul's graduate and Washington financial adviser who raised cash for William Weld's 1996 race against Kerry, told me, "It was very interesting, the number of the St. Paul's class of 1962 who went out of their way to be supportive of Bill Weld."

(CBS) This Against the Grain commentary was written by CBSNews.com's Dick Meyer The most important and impressive boarding school graduation ceremony in the country took place Saturday in Anacostia, one of Washington, D.C.’s lousiest neighborhoods. The school has no massive endowment, no secret society, no mahogany paneling and no posh headmaster’s house. There are no alumni. That’s because the SEED Public Charter School ’s commencement ceremony was its very first. There were 21 members of the Class of 2004 and all 21 are going to college. That’s one of the reasons why there wasn’t a dry eye in the house on Saturday. Ten minutes never passed without a standing ovation. Parents, siblings and cousins didn’t just cheer the kids, they shrieked with joy and pride.

As a first step toward this mission, The SEED Foundation developed the SEED school model, which integrates academic training with life skills and enrichment to prepare students for college, all the while providing holistic services in a stable and nurturing boarding school environment. SEED is changing previous practice by creating a new service delivery model that harnesses resources from the public and private spheres to build a comprehensive program that provides underserved urban students with the stability and services they need to succeed. The SEED School is a financially sustainable institution and serves as a model for the creation of additional SEED schools in the Washington, DC area and around the country.

The first phase of this investment partnership will focus on business planning. VPP will provide $350,000 in funding and strategic assistance to enable the Foundation to engage leading experts in the fields of strategic planning and outcomes design to help it develop a comprehensive, multi-year business plan. This plan will guide SEED toward achievement of its aspirations to serve an additional 600 youth in the region and become a national model for other communities wanting to establish urban boarding schools. Based on the successful completion of the business planning phase, we would enter into a multi-year investment agreement. OPPORTUNITY The SEED Foundation and The SEED School of Washington, DC have demonstrated a successful educational model. The investment in SEED has the potential to expand a unique approach that offers students an educational enrichment opportunity they would otherwise not have, thus breaking the cycle of poverty. At the present time, there are no other successful urban boarding school models. The leadership, management, and board of The SEED Foundation and School feel strongly that expanding this model in the DC area will lead to its replication in several other major city locations and inspire increased national political support.

Boarding schools’ efforts to formalize what their students learn in residential life range from requiring students to participate in extracurricular activities such as community service, athletics, and clubs to mandating that teenagers carry out personal wellness plans. George McDowell, the dean of faculty at St. Margaret’s School in Tappahannock, Va., led boarding school administrators in a discussion about how to create an out-of-class curriculum at the most recent annual conference of The Association of Boarding Schools, or TABS, held Dec. 1-5 in Washington. St. Margaret’s, a boarding school for girls in grades 8-12, has for two years implemented a curriculum that aims to build good character. In designing the curriculum, the school’s faculty and staff tried to answer the question: What do we want our students to be by the time they graduate? They decided that St. Margaret’s graduates should be intellectually honest, respectful, responsible, engaged, self-motivated, flexible, and confident—and they came up with objectives and a plan to help students acquire those character traits.

Dear Sir, It is with a feeling of sorrow that I write you telling of the death of your daughter Lizzie. She was sick but a short time and we did not think her so near her end. Last Wednesday I was called away to Minneapolis and I was very much surprised upon my return Saturday evening to find she was dead, as they had given us no information except she might live for a number of months. Those that were with her say she did not suffer, but passed away as one asleep. I am very sorry that you could not have seen your daughter alive, for she had grown quite a little and improved very much since you let her come here with me. If we had known she was going to live but so short a time, we would have made a great effort to have gotten you here before she died.

And I knew some people who went to NCSSM because we had an awesome art studio. Everyone had to take the same 3 years' worth of science in 2 years, and math every semester, in addition to humanities requirements. I would say a large percentage of those who went to NCSSM ended up majoring in something completely other than math or science, and probably don't work in those fields at all. It was a solid, all-around education. Still, I spent most of my time with math, because that's what I liked.

HISTORICAL CONTEXT Although formal diplomatic relations between the governments of newly independent Sri Lanka (then Ceylon) and the United States of America was established in 1948, contacts between the peoples of the U.S.A and Sri Lanka are nearly 200 years old . In 1789, the year that the USA adopted its Constitution, New England sailors first anchored in the harbours of Sri Lanka. From ancient times Sri Lanka enjoyed commercial relations with distant foreign countries and empires such as Greece and Rome, Arabia and China. As the Orient and the Occident began mingling with each other, sheltered ports of Sri Lanka like Galle was no less frequented by the merchant seamen of America. The earlist known American visitors to Ceylon were whaling and merchant ships from New England. An excerpt from a log of August 31st, 1789 The next American visitors in the early part of the 19th century came not in search of trade but of souls. As early as 1813, Rev. Samuel Newell, a New England clergyman, who later worked and died in India, spent some months laboring in missionary activity in Sri Lanka. He was, in a sense, a forerunner of the American missionaries who came to the Jaffna Peninsula to preach the words of Christ. With enormous self-sacrifice, these missionary families spread knowledge of the Bible; but in a uniquely American way also sought practical benefits for the people they proselytized and served.

Government officials found the Carlisle model an appealing alternative to the costly military campaigns against Indians in the West. Within three decades of Carlisle's opening, nearly 500 schools extended all the way to California. The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) controlled 25 off-reservation boarding schools while churches ran 460 boarding and day schools on reservations with government funds. Rampant sexual abuse at reservation schools continued until the end of the 1980s, in part because of pre-1990 loopholes in state and federal law mandating the reporting of allegations of child sexual abuse. In 1987 the FBI found evidence that John Boone, a teacher at the BIA-run Hopi day school in Arizona, had sexually abused as many as 142 boys from 1979 until his arrest in 1987. The principal failed to investigate a single abuse allegation. Boone, one of several BIA schoolteachers caught molesting children on reservations in the late 1980s, was convicted of child abuse, and he received a life sentence. Acting BIA chief William Ragsdale admitted that the agency had not been sufficiently responsive to allegations of sexual abuse, and he apologized to the Hopi tribe and others whose children BIA employees had abused.
