I think that Wood has a pull to help people in all sorts of ways. The dichotomy of straight-arrow educator and bad-ass demon fighter really isn't too far apart, from his perspective.

As for how many kids he lost, the answer is far too many. There is a horrifying statistic that something like 2/3 of all African-American males do not finish high school in California. Since this is the land of the free, we don't have any way of knowing if those kids are working, sick, dead, incarcerated, or have moved to another state. (Yes, I am an education wonk.) Whatever the reasons, I can't help but feel that each one of those kids is more than a number to Robin Wood.
