Making the grade
Gap between native, non-native schools growing

Up here north of 50, in a town unmarked on maps and unlinked by road to anywhere at all but primeval woodland, there lives a genius girl who may be doomed.
She looks like any 9-year-old, perched at her bedroom computer in T-shirt and jeans, downloading Eminem and giggling at "South Park versus The Simpsons."
