First, a police officer showed up at the dorm because some kids have had some money go missing. So, of course, after some talk, we decided there was pretty much nothing to be done.
Second, I have not touched a graphing calculator in since calculus freshmen year of college. Leo asked for help in finding intersections on his new calculator; and I helped! It all just... came back to me. Miraculous. It made me feel something about math: I miss it.
That feeling would go away if you were teaching 8th grade algebra to a student who says "When will I ever use this".
