Okay, campers...

What should Josh teach his students this Spring at the MIT High School Studies Program?

(for those of you unfamiliar, it is a 10 week enrichment program for 7th-12th graders run at MIT from late Feb (reg.) to early May - see http://esp.mit.edu for more info)

I plan on teaching in the afternoon and late afternoon periods, and not in the mornings.

Beyond that, I will withhold guidance until I get some feedback!

Edit to settle debate.

Hm. My lexical intuition says tells me that "Who should Josh teach..." demands a specific answer rather than a category answer... an answer like "ratesjul" rather than an answer like "students".

But I can't prove it. And in any case, I'll grant you that in making students a "what" I do something of a disservice to the individual students being referenced... supposing there are any such individual referents, which I'm not sure of one way or the other.

But mostly, it was a reference back to a conversation I (and, I imagine, a lot of other people) had with Josh in my college days, wherein when asked what he taught Josh reliably replied "students".
