Ana took her mother's work iPad to school and filmed all her friends at lunch

I'm sure it's a cute video, but I couldn't bring myself to watch - the thought of what could've happened with that illegally snuck out iPad turned my stomach! (And that's not the most shocking misbehavior the nieces have had this week. I won't tell you the rest of it, it makes us all look incompetent.)

In other news, she's up to easy long division with remainders (that is, only with the 2s or 3s times table, and only into double digit numbers) in her "extra math". This is clearly not coming easily to her (although I must say I was astonished at how quickly she picked up multiplication where you have to carry!), but she's getting it. I'm not sure she understands why the procedure works, though, and I kinda want her to. Help?

Oooh, that makes a lot of sense. (And what kid doesn't understand money? Certainly they've been inundated with the subject since kindergarten.)
