"I was a student 60 years ago. It was a brutal, hard, dreary experience. Back then Italians made up the surrounding community mostly low- middle class working families. We were intimidated, punished physically & written off as the fodder of society losers lucky to get through Jr. High relegated to dead end menial existence. There were no teacher/students relationships other than stern, authoritarian rule. The teachers were the losers. They lacked enthusiasm, creativity & engagement. I guess it was a dead end for them too. Luckily, I & others made it out of that abysmal system to go on to succeed & use that experience as a measure of how not to interact with others. Sad, it seems the Donald McKay is still locked in the past serving as a dumping ground for predetermined, underachieving, students sentenced there rather than embraced & engaged in early phases of a lifelong learning adventure."
