I recently had a series of long chat with a dear friend from my time at Prin. These are some of my thoughts from that. By sharing this, I hope to shed light on Principia the institution, which touts the low student-teacher and student-staff ratios as a reason for attending.

you’re wearing pink shoes!
This morning* I finally told my dental hygienist (of 11+ years) that I was raised in CS. The tone of her "oh" made it clear she'd heard of it (and not in a good way). It was a somewhat one-sided conversation (she was busy cleaning my teeth), and she asked a lot of yes/no questions … Continue reading you’re wearing pink shoes!

Everything is Fine & Other Lies Principians Tell Each Other
I recently typed up a seven page post about how Principia failed to meet and recognize the needs to students, then I had a conversation with a close friend who asked, rather pointedly, how Principia was supposed to know anything was wrong and I'm sharing this instead.
