I think the criteria for "school safe" should be changed to accommodate something like this. My high-school kid taught me the word "yeet" and they are all familiar with the F-word enough to be cool with tasteful occasional use like this.
Oh yeah I totally agree; this would make an excellent school video. The swearing might even make the kids more likely to watch. (Actcually my oldest already watches Freya.) My high schoolers throw yeet at me all the time, and they don’t care about swearing at all. Not only is it ubiquitous on TikTok and YouTube, they have a friend with Tourette’s that would make most gangsters blush. Sadly, the school district still would never allow it, probably most places, and I live in a city with more religious parents than a lot of places… c’est la vie.
I like it! Have you had any interest from educators?
Random tangent, but I’m glad you joined the discussion! Maybe you’re sick of curves by now, and I realize you said you left out many topics, but I was curious if you’d considered the quadratic B-spline or any other quadratic curves? I feel like we always talk about linear and cubic and hardly anyone considers quadratics. There are good reasons for that, but I like the order-2 B-spline for it’s continuity and because it’s halfway interpolating in the sense that it interpolates every midpoint of the linear skeleton. It’s slightly smoother than the Catmull-Rom (which is a bit lumpy IMO), and I think the continuity is equally good, right?
