• If You Love Something, Give It Away: The Maestro Program

  
  Scheiss Weekly — Authority: 123
  Mamacita says:  A huge thank-you to Super Cool Schoo l for posting this video. Billy Madison ’s speech made everyone in the room dumber, but  Itay Talgam not only makes the world smarter: he makes the world smile.  Somehow, watching this gentleman makes me feel better about the world, and even about. . . ...

• Quotation Saturday: Stupidity

  
  Scheiss Weekly — Authority: 123
  Mamacita says:  What’s that?  STUPIDITY?  How intensely politically incorrect! Gotta love something that’s politically incorrect!  Well, I do, anyway.  Euphemisms are for the weak.  Euphemisms cheapen our language, and draw our attention away from important things. 1. Two things are infinite: the universe ...

  Scheiss Weekly — Authority: 123
  Mamacita says:  I’ve posted about this subject before , but with the approach of holiday season, it’s on my mind again, so I’ve written a new post about this same thing. We’re tired.  We work all day and in the evenings, we deserve a few hours to rest, eat, and just, well, unwind. We deserve some time to ...

• Zero Tolerance? Don’t Get Me Started. . . .

  
  Scheiss Weekly — Authority: 123
  Mamacita says:  It looks so good on paper.  You know, like communism and NCLB.  The problem with all these things is this: they don’t work. Like an expensive dog with elite genealogy papers and a genetic flaw,  they’ll all eventually bite you in the butt and give you second, and if you’re smart, third and ...

• Bite Me, Amadeus, Part Tres

  
  Scheiss Weekly — Authority: 123
  Mamacita says:   What, no Quotation Saturday?  Apparently not.  I’m busy thinking up reasons to put off grading essays and quizzes, trying to keep the cats off the countertops, and harvesting pink roses.  I’m also in a bit of a snit – so what’s new? – because some of my students’  topics and content ...

  Scheiss Weekly — Authority: 123
  Mamacita says:  This day used to be known as Armistice Day, in honor of the armistice that was signed on the “eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month”.  This year, 2008, marks the 90th anniversary of Armistice Day. This term also refers to the fact that back in ancient times, a worker who was ...

• Quotation Saturday: Community

  
  Scheiss Weekly — Authority: 123
  Mamacita says:  “Community” is something that many people take for granted, and even discount or abuse, but when all is said and done, this “community” thing is the backbone of society.  Those of us who work in social media know this, but I wonder sometimes if everybody realizes how very, very important our ...

• The Mother from Hell.

  
  Scheiss Weekly — Authority: 123
  Mamacita says:  Several years ago, back in the middle school, we had a student whose mother was referred to as “the mother from Hell,”  and everyone in the building knew exactly who we were talking about whenever someone said it.   She snooped through everything. She criticized the subject matter and placement ...

• Make someone happy, Make just one someone happy, And you will be happy, too. . . .

  
  Scheiss Weekly — Authority: 123
  Mamacita says: Whether or not you celebrate Christmas has nothing whatsoever to do with being Santa Claus for someone. Call it whatever you wish: just call it something , and go forth and do it.  Letting your soul curl up into a ball of resentment because YOUR religion, or lack of such,  doesn’t “do” ...

• Mamacita Likes Southwest Airlines

  
  Scheiss Weekly — Authority: 123
  Well, by now you all know me pretty well, and you know that I love kids. I love my kids, and I love your kids.  I also love most of you, and because I love most people, I made sure my own kids knew how to behave in public so you would not be inconvenienced, and I fully expect YOUR kids to know how, too.  And, I ...

• Happy Hallowe’en. Eat Up. Sing Along. Read Up. Jerk Down. Smash. Freeze. Blow Up. Enjoy.

  
  Scheiss Weekly — Authority: 123
  Mamacita says: Of course, you all probably already know that if you mix candy corn and salted peanuts together in a big bowl, you’ve got handfuls of PayDay bar goodness. Peanuts are a meat substitute, and candy corn is pretty much fat-free (paraffin never hurt anybody) so really, a big bowl of candy corn and ...

• Social Media: An Innovative Way To Complete an Assignment

  
  Scheiss Weekly — Authority: 123
  Mamacita says:  I have long been a fan of Chris Brogan, and now I think I might love him madly. As a teacher, I am always on the lookout for new and better things to do, and for  better ways to do what I have always done, and Chris’s daughter Violette has shown me yet another way that social media can be ...

• Things I Haven’t Done Yet

  
  Scheiss Weekly — Authority: 123
  Mamacita says:  I’m listening to Straight No Chaser , and it’s impossible to be completely whiny when those blazingly, almost impossibly, talented guys are singing straight to me and me only. . . . I know they’re big stuff now, and I’m glad because they so totally deserve to be big stuff, but let it be ...

• Crabby Appleton Lives Here

  
  Scheiss Weekly — Authority: 123
  Mamacita says:  I am very grouchy tonight. I’m not sure why – yes, I do* – but I’m really flashbacking to one parent conference after another: conferences that took place eight and ten and more years ago, even.  What the heck is up with me tonight? I am so sick, sick, sick of selfish grown-ups. ...

• Quotation Saturday: It’s All About MEEEEEEEE! (Selfishness)

  
  Scheiss Weekly — Authority: 123
  Mamacita says:  Everybody is selfish on occasion; it’s human nature to want to “feel good,” and “look out for Number One” and think things like “this is best for ME,” and “I won’t share my candy!” and “It’s all for me and about me and because of MEEEEE and for my benefit!!!!” and “I want ...
