An imagined conversation

Dewey: “If we teach today as we taught yesterday, we rob our students of tomorrow.” (This is an actual quote)
Chesterton: Equally, if we teach for tomorrow, we rob our students of yesterday.

Certain unnamed “educators”: At least one thing is certain, our students will be robbed… 

New places for me to fail to post

So I'm trying out twitter (@yeomanscholar) as an social network alternative to Facebook. For one thing, it's easier to follow interesting writers, etc there - the interface is simpler, and you don't have to be "friends" (whatever that means these days) with someone in order to follow them, or have them follow you. There will still be the occasional post here (when I find time away from the job) but my short aphoristic thoughts and updates on the quick updates on brain training projects will go there.

I'm also thinking I'll take a shot at some tumblring. http://yeomanscholar.tumblr.com/ - again, fresher, simpler, more share-focused stuff. I'll try to crosspost everything I can though.
