Links – Hellos and Goodbyes
Time to update some links. Pharyngula ran the most amazing offer: give him your link, and he added it to his blogroll (without a promise to keep it more than a few months, but still). Anyway, I am no pharyngula.
Say hello to:
Math Less Traveled. You know how good math teachers can make math fun and interesting and clear, and engineers and other smart non-teachers usually can’t? Well this guy? He’s not a teacher but writes like one of those good teachers. Go. Look. [edit – Maybe he is a teacher after all. Brent?]
dy/dan is a math-focused math teacher. All teaching, no politics.
Ms. Whatsit is a riled up middle school teacher. Quick-witted with a sharp tongue.
And I’ve dropped these links:
Ianqui in the village is a sociologist or anthropologist in New York who at one time caught my interest, but, alas, lost it. I used to know people like that.
Ed Notes online has ratcheted up the nastiness for the election season. It is too unpleasant to keep.
Evolving Education, Naughtmuch, and Syntactic Gymnastics all stopped publishing.

Thanks for the kind endorsement! I’m a teacher by avocation if not, currently, in actual fact. I did teach high school math and computer science for a couple years before taking my current job (as a software developer) in order to put my wife through grad school. So unfortunately I’m not a counterexample to your dichotomy. =)
