Excellent; that's my home town, though Cass Tech was one of our rivals. Thanks for finding this.

Games are an ancient form of global diplomacy, but Cass Tech High School calculus teacher Maurice El-Amin leads Detroit teenagers into a sophisticated niche of the gaming world that depends on brains not brawn.</P><P>
In each of the last six years, he's shattered stereotypes by coaching his students successfully through regional competitions across Michigan and then a national tournament in Georgia. Facing tough teams from suburban and private schools, his teams have proved that Detroit teens are among the sharpest in the country.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070722/NEWS05/707220559">
One of the half-dozen logic games they play is called Wff 'n Proof, and, for the last six years, one of El-Amin's students has won the $6,000 annual scholarship that goes to a top U.S. competitor.<P>
"We've broken a lot of stereotypes over the years," El-Amin said as he met with team members at the school for practice rounds. The games are played on tables with dozens of colorful cubes bearing numbers and symbols.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/8EEE122F-DBAC-4333-9958-DFB5BFB2DEC5/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
