Curt Visca And Me On Inspired Teaching
Presenting in this blog post, dear reader, my amazing, notwithstanding vicarious, teaching mentor Curt Visca, a treasured educator and beloved children’s cartoon show host I was heavily inspired by and remain indebted to in my K12 and now community college teaching career. Thank you.
Here’s a guy who mysteriously and unknowingly became vicariously a mentor to me in my 20’s 30’s and 40’s, through his “It’s Curtoon Time” kid TV show.
His local access cable TV broadcasting in South Orange County had such an allure for me prior to my drop/transplant into the High Desert in 2002 where I raised a family and thrived as a teacher.
Amazing Visionary!
He lives in San Clemente and is an accomplished teacher and administrTor for the Capistrano Valley Unified School District. I looked up himto immensely. Even today at 55 I try to live and teach by his motto”Learning should be Simple & Silly.”
I wanted to make a show called “The Standard Train” in 2002 and for the longest time to inspire wonder in my Adelanto kids.
Curt was an early video creator and respected Public School Principal in Capistrano Valley Unified. He was an inspiration for me to press on with my outlier visions, never going halfway in my teaching and musical career.
Thank you Curt.
I get it now. I always had it but I can write about now at 55:
Teaching should be simple and silly
I love the idea of my 4th book being themed around the “Dynamite Lesson Plan” and Curt Vusca’s cartoony and brilliant philosophy of Keeping learning “simple and silly.”
From me to you commoners as well as teachers out there needing inspiration,
Yours,
DAme

Obama’s Speech Last Night Moved Me Immensely, You Might Be Surprised To Know Why So Please Read On IF YOU CAN
My dear friends & family who care for the welfare of your fellow Americans in need,
I have a specific point to share with you and it won’t take even a minute of your time. Thank you in advance if you decide to continue.
Please, please assist the non-readers when they appear in your orbit. They often suffer in prideful silence.
You’d think this solely a task for us teachers but adults like this exist everywhere and most are afraid to admit their gigantic handicap, being that they cannot read.
A huge percentage of illiterate adults in America are unemployed, not by their choice or lack of trying as Republicans these days pigeon-hole the poor in their Trumpy “MAGA” worldview.
I absolutely cry inside whenever I listen to and/or sing this powerful song 😭 Mostly I have the hardest time singing it because I see non-reader people in my bent mind as I play and it becomes overwhelming. ❤️🩹 In fact, my dear lovelies I’m crying now, seeing them on D Street and 7th as I board my bus, wiping real tears away.
Obama’s speech last night was marvelous. The tide of humanity is turning so I ask you to get on board, get on the right side, the human side of America.
Evil is going out of style can’t you feel it? Vote Democrat, vote Kamala Harris in November I entreat you to believe as I know: she gets the concept of Natalie Merchant’s truly necessary and emotive song. ✌️
