Oh, good lord.
October 13, 2006 · Print This Article
This is what happens when I drink too much Diet Coke and stay up past 10 pm (when I’ve been up since 4 am), then try to answer legitimate questions about the whole language vs. phonics debate. I babble incoherently and make confusing analogies! I giggle and tell embarrassing stories! I forget to mention that I’m stating my opinion!
Good times.
If you’re in the mood to mock me, feel free to head on over to Mommycast.com and check out today’s episode. This is just one in a series of World Wide Education Summit podcasts in which Paige and Gretchen focus on education around the world. I especially enjoyed the interview with the mom whose children attended school in Africa. It’s sheer craziness. Just so you know.
Oh, and totally check out the episode with Dr. Tierno, the germ doctor (he’s toward the end of the Education in Germany podcast). Aaaw… cute! I want to wrap him up and put him in my pocket! “Wash your hands while humming the tune of ‘Happy Birthday’… twice.” Seriously! I want to hug him, and squeeze him, and call him “George”! Oh, and he was way informative, too, yo?

Got something to say?







Good lord, they got a little huffy about the microphone there at the beginning. What happened to sharing nicely?
But you were great! You’re an “expert in the field”! How cool is that?!
Note: Those are not sarcastic air quotes. They are sincere quote quotes. As in, I am quoting them calling you an expert in the field. Because you are an expert. In the field.
I loves me some edumication, yo!
First of all, I have to tell you how TOTALLY AWESOME (should I throw a “dude” in there somewhere?) it is that you got on that you-tube thing, because now I can watch your CatCasts with out all the trouble I had to go through before…um…I’ll have ta tell ya about that later.
And I also love the changes you’ve made to your site. I will be responding more often (and updating my own blog) now that I feel like I’m in the land of the bright, sun-shiney living people again.
That’s all. You are great. And you know that “yo” thing you say all the time? It’s very contageous. And for me out here in the barren wasteland of Southern AZ, that’s a BAD thing…
