New Link (and 2 older ones)

I'm generally not much of a fan of homeschooling, but if that's what you do, at least make sure that you take the mathematics seriously. Romans Go Home does. Plus its written by the Wife of Brian. Makes you wonder why Monty Python isn't used to teach Latin anymore. Anyway, interesting/curious, and a definite addition to my links.

I am 5 weeks new to this blogging stuff. I recently noticed that bloggers write a bit about additions to their links or blogrolls. I haven't been doing that. Over the next couple of weeks I will catch up. In the meantime, here are two other recent additions:

Linda Moran's kids go to public school, but she supplements the math, and pays attention to the content and the pedagogy (she did teacher training). Smart, and observant. Blogs at Teens and Tweens (among other places). I noticed her writings in opposition to introducing a not very good constructivist middle school math curricula in her upscale town in northern New Jersey.

I need to explain why I blog-rolled this Kansas blog: Evolution-Next Step.
1. The author's name is jd, which are fairly cool initials
2. He uesd to teach math, and sometimes still writes about both (math and teaching)
3. His politics tend to be far from mine, but not nearly as far as I would have guessed. And bly, are they thoughtful. (seems to have a pretty thick libertarian streak. And fairly intellectual. And very honest.) Hell, I understand the appeal. And where government has nothing useful to do, I would prefer it did nothing at all. I just think there are places where it is useful and necessary.
4. He's got all these cool evolution references floating around (though it is not a blog devoted to arguing about evolution)
5. It is very-well constructed. Worth studying well-designed blogs, or at least that is what I am claiming at this moment.
