“And it’s in fact working. And he saw this, and he was so excited, he reached his hand out to me, and he said, “Thank you, thank you, thank you.” And what went through my mind was, how often is it that teachers are thanked by their students for teaching them variables?  It doesn’t happen in most classrooms, but that’s because in most classrooms, when kids learn about variables, they don’t know why they’re learning it.”-  Mitch Resnick at TEDxBeaconStreet

Mitch recalled this incident, where he had taught a kid the use of a variable and in a real time scenario. The kid was overjoyed and thanked him. In other words- Mitch had just become a mentor. He had helped a kid solve a real life problem.
