Random fannish person here, liking the #1. You know, I don't think we've seen Charlie interact with anyone younger than his college students. (Unless there's something in season 2. Which I begin watching shortly! Yay for the wobbie!) He's something like the Ultimate Triumph of The Geek, because not only is he in his 30s and successfully devoted to his geeky passion, he's cool. He works for the FBI. I can't imagine any kid in a math camp not being totally in love.
I'm kind of wondering how Charlie would react to that kind of attention from kids. Because you know they won't confine themselves to the classroom. Can you imagine Charlie dealing with camp counselor type demands? Homesick children, really not smart projects, nosy questions about his personal life? ("Do you like girls, Professor Eppes? Do you have a girlfriend, Professor Eppes?")
