Category Archives: Things Nice People Already KnowMamacita 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: At the risk of exposing my Harry Potter obsession to the world – and it’s no doubt far too late to worry about that – I have been looking at the series with my teacher-eyes lately and have noticed some pretty awesome things.
At age eleven, children were expected to know the basic skills [...]
Mamacita says: There’s no actual theme for this week’s Quotation Saturday; it’s full of random wordbytes of wisdom. Oh, and if you don’t see any wisdom, you’re not looking closely enough.
Oh, and you know what “they” say. . .that’s the omnipotent antecedentless “they” of the ages. . .if you are offended by a quotation, you [...]
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?

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 [...]
Mamacita says: These particular scum-sucking spawn “humanoids” are once again being discussed in the Blogosphere, so I’m re-running my own take on them. I refer to Michael and Debi Pearl.
I beg of you all, do not buy any books by these people. (link removed on advice from much smarter person than me.) [...]
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.
Look [...]
Mamacita says: Well, well, well, another Saturday has sneaked up on us!
“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 [...]
