My “Take” On Montessori Schools, and a Video About Them

I went to a Montessori school for a year and a half: third grade, and the first half of the fourth. I then re-entered public school. That was a shock.

I wouldn’t trade that year and a half for anything. That was when I started learning algebra, for example.

The problem, of course, is that most families can’t afford the tuition at such schools. I have an idea, then: why not make public schools more like Montessori schools?

I didn’t have anything to do with the creation of the video below. I merely wrote this introduction to it. Enjoy. Questions are welcome.

One Faceting, Each, of the Snub Cube and Snub Dodecahedron

Faceted snub cube

These are facetings of the snub cube (above) and snub dodecahedron (below). I made both using Stella 4d, software you can try for yourself right here.

Cats Make Good Scapegoats (with Jynx the Cat)

Jynx the Cat is the official scapegoat of our home, when blame cannot otherwise be determined.
