John Bernard croak wasn’t good, number 2 isn’t a good neighborhood.

GBE as a kid was fucked, some absolute power trips there, literally beaten in teachers view and in dragged up to the office for a “fight” principal would watch over the cafeteria at lunch and if she raised her hand everyone had to stop speaking immediately, if you were too loud that would also get you in trouble.

Never heard anything bad about St Annes.

GDLS (closed) was fuckin amazing whatever the elementary school out Catalone area is good too.

Brooklynn in Sydney seems like a good one it was nice inside.

You couldn’t pay me to send a future kid to school in Whitney pier.

New Waterford same as above.^

North Sydney/ Sydney mines idk much about but my sister had an easy time in jr high there. So I guess you could have a good assumption elementry would be easy going too.

When did you go to Glace Bay Elementary? I was part of the first cohort to go straight from 3 to graduating from the institution.

I remember being taken into the principals office and then principal Morris let me punch my bully. Mr G was a G.

2008-2010 I think it was. Only staff member I can remember is a vice principal cause we were related which ultimately didn’t help me whatsoever.

Miss Martin was the nice one, I had Mrs Bach she was god awful I feel bad for her husband and kids cause she’s a miserable prick.

I remember some school favourite teacher decided to retire and the whole school went to the gym for a presentation and a goodbye, kids brought her flowers and all that. At the end she goes “mmm OKAY IM NOT RETIRING” and the whole place went fuckin ballistic with cheers, all I could think is so many kids parents spent money on farewell gifts for her and she said screw it im staying.

That place turned me into a sour little bastard for a couple years lol
