Let me tell you the story of a specific student, who I will call A, and whose story is similar to all the Super Scholars of Rm. 246. My school is a large placement sight for refugee families new to my city, so I wasn't surprised when A suddenly arrived in my classroom: a fifth grader in the body of a third grader, rising only to my waist with barely-there hair and mismatched clothes likely shared with older and younger siblings. It was his first day in school, his first week in this country. I was trying to ascertain his understanding of classroom vocabulary. I pointed to a pencil, asking, "What is this?" A looked up at me with giant eyes and a toothless grin. He said nothing. The pattern continued. I pointed to a table. Wordless grin. A chalkboard. Wordless grin. A light. Wordless. A clock. Wordless. But when I pointed to the flag, I finally got a word. "America," A said, and he flashed a big, toothy smile.
