Yet far from giving the continent's youngsters an edge over their tutor-less peers, it appears more successful at turning a band of young, good-looking teachers into superstars, particularly in Hong Kong.

Last month's 6-3 ruling forced the Forest Grove, Ore., school district to pay $65,000 to the parents of a teenage boy whom the district repeatedly said was ineligible for special education.
