“I think it’s not by chance that we ended up in Mr Walz’s room that morning,” Robbins said. “Of the handful of seniors who ended up there, none of us were technically in his class that morning, but we knew we’d get an honest assessment of a complex situation and we knew he wouldn’t ask us ‘where are you supposed to be right now?’"

Walz was not immediately called to active duty and he resumed teaching geography, now with extended current events.
“Basically everybody remembers either having a parent or a grandparent or something in a war. So we talked a lot about stuff like, ‘Is it going to be like the olden days, where if you're 18 or older, you’re just automatically going, or do you get to sign up? Is it really going to be a war like how it had been in the past, World War II, the Civil War, things like that?
“So we talked a lot about how this would be similar, yet vastly different than any other war we had experienced before.”
