re: #94 HypnoToad

I made one of those… Forget which mission it was now. I do, however, still have the bridge that I built for my high school senior science class. Each one was placed on a scale and loaded with a jack until it broke. Mine made 117 pounds.

The real problem with the missions project is that stores and websites now sell very professional kits for them, and the parents buy them and help the kids assemble them at home, thereby completely negating the point of the project.

Fourth-grade teachers in California are fighting back, but progress is slow.
