Tony, i can only go by what my "gang" said about her. most of them were in her class & said she was "cool" so what did i know. i hated Rita D so anything was better. in the long run, i agree with jimmy. we didn't turn out bad & catholic school had it's advantages. when i went to HS i attended Our Lady of Good Counsel. i had fun, learned wayyyyyyy more then i ever did at SRL but unfortunately the riots broke that running streak in mid yr so when we moved down here in nov. 67, i went to my 1st public school. they were overcrowded, more concerned with after school activities & many "clicks". i was an outsider. never made friends here. later yrs found out from someone i ran into that they were afraid of me cause i was a Newarker! Ha! i weighed 97 lbs. what a joke. the teachers really didn't put any effort into it. i had a 75-80 average in geometry (i stink at math so this was great) & a 85-90 in spanish at OLGC. came here, failed............hated it & couldn't wait to graduate. in the case of the high school experience Jimmy, i agree. those nuns cared really cared. if you had questions, they answered them & were willing to help you even after class. complete opposite from SR or public hs.
