September 2, 2010 – 8:34 pm

Mamacita says:  The latest Education Buzz (formerly Carnival of Education) is now up over at Bellringers, and if you are a parent, student, doctor, lawyer, construction worker, fireman, or any of the other Village People or citizens of the planet, you owe it to yourself, your kids, and your planet to click on over and [...]

Mamacita says:  I posted this in 2006, but I’ve been thinking about this same thing all day so here it is again. My blog, my rules.  What up, dawggggg? I admit it: too much Scrubs. Here’s the post: Is anyone else out there lucky enough to have a job that makes you so happy that [...]

Making the Grade. . . .

July 11, 2010 – 12:02 am

Mamacita says:  I hate to admit this, but this was my attitude about my kids’ grades, kind of. . . . Factor in individuality, talent, brains, work habits, etc, and you can’t help but have a set of expectations, and expectations should be met. I know that there are exceptions to this and most other [...]

Don’t limit a child to your own learning, for he was born in another time.

July 7, 2010 – 12:05 am

Mamacita says:  Regarding any educator at any level, in any capacity, and in any kind of economic region, who is not making an effort to be extremely computer-savvy. . . . shame on you. I know first-hand what kind of travesties can occur when an administrator doesn’t know anything about a computer, and I think [...]

I Agree With Aristotle.

July 3, 2010 – 3:46 am

Mamacita says:  There are many things that are wrong with and in this country – many, many things. Open a newspaper, watch television, listen to the radio, surf around the blogosphere, pretty much all we hear about are the things that are wrong. We SHOULD be hearing about them, too; if we don’t hear about [...]

Mamacita (The Real One) Rants About Wiggly Kids and Recess and Stuff

May 29, 2010 – 12:05 am

Mamacita says:  Some of this was first posted on June 30, 2007, but my opinion hasn’t changed since then, and I’ve added a few more opinionated Mamacita-isms. Are you surprised? I didn’t think you would be. “No two people are alike, and both of them are damn glad of it.” That’s a quotation; that’s not [...]

Facts Are The Enemy of Truth

May 22, 2010 – 6:12 pm

Repost from May 19, 2006.  Because it was on my mind.  It’s always on my mind. This is the irrational season When love blooms bright and wild, Had Mary been filled with reason, There’d have been no room for the child. –by Madeleine L’Engle Madeleine has been one of my idols for many years.  I [...]

Why Are We Allowing Schools to Punish the VICTIMS of Bullying, and Not the Bullies?

February 15, 2010 – 12:10 am

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 [...]

It’s Outrageous: Not Everyone Deserves A Real Diploma!

February 3, 2010 – 3:36 pm

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?” Because I can’t think of a [...]
