There's one other neat fact that didn't make it: Edison's lab is huge and staffed with men who call themselves "muckers". Though they aren't paid well, most of them actually relish the chance of working for Edison.
Edison's lab mates (yes, euphemism for employees) love to play practical jokes and pranks, spit on the floor, etc. But one thing stood out: the lab had a pet bear that one day got loose and had to be killed.
I overwhelmingly agree with The Slapster :). It matters more that Shimon Waronker is a principal that cares about his school and students. More importantly, he is willing to take hard and unpopular steps to improve the school.
His faith as a Hasidic Jew, adds to the neat factor of the story, but I could see the same result from white/black/latino teachers who care just as much.
