Mamacita says: There is nothing on the planet as important as our kids, and we really need to keep aware of what’s going on in their world. Even when we don’t like to admit that these things are happening.
Oftimes, those things that are the hardest to believe, are the very things that are really happening.

Mamacita says: Does anyone else wonder why parents and teachers are spending so much time on topics such as red ink, dodgeball, and T-shirts, when it seems to me a much better topic for discussion might be, “Why are we allowing illiterate people to actually graduate from high school?”

This term also refers to the fact that back in ancient times, a worker [...]

Mamacita says: Watch out for the language on this one:
Justin Smythe, 44, was arrested in California a few years ago, and freely admitted that he’d given a 13-year-old girl enough booze and drugs to loosen her up so he could, and did, have sex with her, many times and in many different “ways,” and that [...]

Mamacita says: I’m tired of reading about dishonor. Today’s Quotation Saturday focuses on HONOR – a trait many people have turned their backs on in favor of . . . other, more selfish and self-serving traits.
1. Honor isn’t about making the right choices. It’s about dealing with the consequences. –Midori Koto
2. Rather fail [...]

My tribute to Craig Damian Lilore can be found here.
Mamacita says: I’m guessing that many most bloggers will be posting tributes today, and telling the blogosphere ‘where we were’ when the planes hit the World Trade Center. Here is mine. This is actually the fifth time I’ve posted this on 9/11, so if [...]

Mamacita says: Before I say anything else, I want to send a huge, grateful shout-out to Mocha Momma! You should all be reading her blog anyway, because she’s great, but add to all that, I’ve won a laptop from her blog contest! Oh, Momma, I can’t thank you enough! I’m going to find you [...]

Mamacita says: My opinion on the current state of the average American public school system is very low, and yet in spite of my growing disillusionment with rules, regulations, toleration of bad behavior and attitudes, politics, willful ignorance in both students and adults, and all of the petty little stupidities that daily – hourly – [...]

Mamacita says:
Way over in Connecticut, one of Fairfield University’s most beloved professors of all time has died.
Those of you who are into the political scene may remember John Orman as the man who challenged Senator Joseph Lieberman for the 2006 Democratic Senate nomination. Others may remember John as the author of numerous books about [...]
