Airbnb is often blamed for bringing tourists, risky behavior, even lasting crime.
But data from 110 U.S. cities shows the opposite: crime drops as Airbnb use rises — and stays lower.

I can't accept chalk worth more than 20 bucks from students.
There is a student who offered some Hagamoro (ya' know... nice) chalk to another teacher at CSI and the Prof declined out of a worry it was too much.
The ethics training said if it **looks** like a conflict of interest, it's unethical.
