Category Archives: The real MamacitaMamacita says: Children are naturally curious. With each passing day, an infant is more and more curious about what’s going on in the world around him/her. When is this happening? When is that happening? And, later, WHY is this happening, or not? Add to this everything in between, and it’s little wonder that it’s so [...]
Mamacita says: This topic has been on my mind lately (as usual), so I’m re-running this post from March of 2008.
Oh please, society, let us learn from the past, just a little bit?
“Francie thought it was the most beautiful church in Brooklyn. It was made of old gray stone and had twin spires [...]
Mamacita says: So many of the teachers I’ve spoken to lately are frustrated almost beyond words by their schools’ insistence that they keep disruptive, non-participatory, and often violent students in their classrooms, to the severe detriment of the other children.
All students have a right to be educated in their least restrictive environment. How can this [...]
Mamacita says: the weekend is almost over – indeed, on Sunday afternoon, the weekend is as good as over because that’s when the depression starts, although it’s not as bad as it used to be. More than anything else, it’s the “have to get up in the morning as normal people always do” that hits [...]

“Gumption” is an old-fashioned word, but gumption itself is a quality that seems to be old-fashioned, too. Schoolkids aren’t given time to prove they’ve got gumption or not, because before they can even comprehend that they can’t comprehend something, an adult is right there [...]
Mamacita says: I am not, by any stretch of the imagination, exactly a spring chicken these days, but when the time comes that I stop asking questions, they can bury me. In fact, they should. What possible use is a person who doesn’t ask questions and seek answers? Can’t think of a thing.
I’m not presumptuous [...]
Mamacita says: When I was a little girl, Dad would often wink at Mom after dinner, and say “Now I’ve got gas; I guess I’ll go out and sit on the car.” And she would roll her eyes and say that HER family didn’t talk like that.
And I would be all happy because, hey. Free [...]
Mamacita says: If I owned the biggest and best thesaurus in the universe, I still would not be able to find a word accurate enough to fully express my disgust and loathing of censorship, nor of the mentality of those who censor. Yesterday’s post touched on this topic – or perhaps, more accurately, [...]
