That school is now a combination school called YECA. Don't know how long they've been doing this but it must've made a serious turn around because when I went there to observe the different teachers it was a great school... And it's considered one of the top schools in that area.

I'm assuming that because I was so close to South Jamaica that's why the area looked bad, but if I was to go further down it would change.

cambria heights does not look run down

Yea seventh floor already told me that the area I was talking about wasn't Cambria Heights like they had told me but South Jamaica instead... I wasn't too familiar with that area around there so I just took the schools word for it.

@ South jamaica dude... I only worked there for 3 months and I dealt mainly with the math department, I worked with Ms. Gordon. Don't know if you knew her or had her but she was a great teacher. Learned a lot of things observing her in my time there.

Tell me about it. I guess the West Brighton Houses should be called "the 18s" (P.S.18) and the Stapleton Houses should be called "the 14s" (P.S.14) or "the 49s" (I.S.49).
