Subject: PS 272 - class of 1973 school boycott

I just stumbled across this site and I am laughing...I left Canarsie, sadly in my teenage yrs- I moved in the middle of 9th grade to Long Island- I lived in the neighborhood no one ever talks about on this site- it had no name, it was behind seaview park, and near the Belt- east 93 between skidmore and schenk...they never knew where to send us to school..the italian kids went to st jude on the corner, I went to Kindergarten at PS 115, then I guess there was no room there, so then it was off to 272, my neighborhood was zoned for Bildersee which I was really looking forward to but then some bus load complete with a reverend parked itselfoutside one of our schools saying they had to go to school in Canarsie, and would drive up every day resulting in a school boycott for us, but finally and I don't know why, they were allowed to come to our schools despite the fact they lived in Brownsville, and sure enough my area was rezoned and I had to go to 211, so that meant some kids on the block were in bildersee, some in st jude and some in 211, so the kid friendships all ended. I always asked why we had to rezone our community for the benefit of kids who didn't live there, and could never understand the whole thing...Anyway, here's a list of my teachers

1st grade- Mrs Navre- very sweet- took the place of some horrible witch named Mrs Horlick- ended up being a nice calm year for us

2nd grade- Mrs Bernstein

3rd grade- Mrs Rosenzweig- young pretty and placed me in the IGC the next year

4th grade- Mrs Bernstein- in 2nd grade she was ok but this year something was up- wshe was absent every day- we did nothing all year and had tons of subs- all the smart kids were in this class - mary ann was my best friend

5th grade- Mrs Feinberg- I think her daughter died that year and she just could not handle things- we then had Mrs Taylor

6th grade-Mrs Tessler- bad year- I was dying to get off to JHS she treated us like babies, and was very strict- now I see why 6th grade is no longer in elementary school
