I love children, and I love students of all ages, and I love teaching, and I love genuine education in all of its 6-degrees-of-separation wonder. Everything is connected – everything in the known and unknown universe is connected. Nothing exists only within the four walls of a classroom. It often happens – I sincerely hope [...]

Mamacita says: On occasion, my husband and I have what one might euphemistically call “slight miscommunication” episodes. I’m sure I don’t know why he can’t seem to understand me, but it probably has something to do with the fact that he’s a man a very busy person. I’m busy, too, but I have no problem [...]

Mamacita says: Something some of you might not know about me is that I love meeting people, and I tend to strike up conversations with them without ever knowing their names. I’m also a bit of a card shark. My specialty for this seems to be airports. A few years ago I was traveling with [...]

Mamacita says: When I was teaching in the public schools, the same things happened almost every day: I rejoiced when my students did well. I cried when my students faced insurmountable odds. I laughed when my students were happy. I was proud when my students worked hard. I was angry when the decisions of adults [...]

Mamacita says: Warning: I’m in a bad mood. I’m sick and tired of a handful of people taking all the joy out of the majority of our children’s school experience. I maintain that if a family is that insecure and unable to defend their own beliefs against a good honest question, or withstand any questions [...]

Mamacita asks: What does an Army of Women look like? It looks like you. And why should you be interested? Because it could have been you. Maybe it was you. Women remove their bras for many reasons. You know them, so I won’t list them. But I will add this one: so we can check [...]

Mamacita says: First of all, I despise censorship. Banning books is akin to banning people; both are abhorrent to the collective intelligence, and both bring us down as a culture. It’s one thing for someone to decide that a certain book will not be allowed in his/her house – every parent has that right – [...]

Mamacita says: It’s 2:30 in the morning, and I have to get up in a few hours and go to school, and be all enthusiastic about punctuation. The thing is, I AM enthusiastic about punctuation. It’s important. It tell us when to pause, and when to stop. It tells us when to end a sentence [...]

Mamacita says: This is my favorite Picasso*, and it hangs in the foyer of my home. I’ve loved it for many years; a copy hung in the men’s side of my college dorm, (I still love you, Willkie Co-op!) and it used to fascinate me. The print. The print fascinated me. It just happened to [...]

Mamacita says: You all know by now that I love a good quotation. Words have such mighty and majestic power: they can make us laugh; they can make us cry; they can make us cower in fear, or stand tall with pride, or melt with love. Name it, and words can make us feel or [...]
