The head coach gets a warning, I mean that normally - I don’t know, I didn’t have a protractor out there.

After writing what he knew was the wrong answer to the first geometry problem, Neel put his pencil and protractor down and rested his head on his arms.

I learned the ritual that very first summer with my firstborn, when the August air was still heavy but the Target was suddenly full of pens and protractors.

But apologies, forgiveness, and reconciliation are not points on a protractor.

No one to talk to other than “Would you pass me that charcoal pencil?” in art class or “Are you done with the protractor?” in math.
