Started out in jefferson School in Lyndhurst. Was there for a few years. I remember one teacher, Mrs Perillo or something like that smashed my head into the desk for some reason and smacked me in the face in the second grade I was hyper back then and the teachers had little tolerence back then. Gee that was fun.. "Hey Mrs Perillo... thanks for the memories.. yeah sure... Miss Perta was considered the mean teacher but she was actually a very nice teacher and not as bad as we thought. I enjoyed her class. I wonder if anyone remembers the time we had a slide show one day in class. It was after the summer break and the teachers had gone to Hawaii for vacation togather and took all kinds of pictures to bring back and show us. We thought it was so cool and one day the teachers had all the kids form 3 classes togather in ONE ROOM. that was a lot of kids i'm telling ya. Well the slide show starts and yeah yeah trees, coconuts and sand big deal hawaii shits and fire dancers and then all of a sudden on the screen apprears this picture of all of the teachers NAKED on the hotel bed, nothing dirty just lounging around but NAKED!!! all you heard in the class room was WOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHOOOOOOOOO and the teachers turned so RED FACED man they must have been so embarressed. let me see It was Miss perta, Mrs Trevison and Mrs Torre. Well ladies if you ready this i'm old enough to say this NICE!!! very nice LOL too bad we didn't get to see more. LOL anyway.....and then moved to Rutherford and went to Sylvan Street school for a year. At Sylvan school I met this kid. He was pretty much the only kid who gave me much of the time of day LOL His name is Greg Deluca... AAAAHHHHH well Greg was a cool guy not just because he wanted to be my friend but because he was differant want like to do things and not just sit around like a turd all of the time. We ended up being very good friends for a long time and had many adventures doing all sorts of things over the years. I don't know why but we used to go down the meadows in East Rutherford and walk through the garbage dumps and get into mischief as much as we could. Then went to Peirrpont School. and Ended u in the Mrs Willaims class for kids with special needs because I was oh so special. (that's code for HYPER). Greg was there with me in the same class and I was glad because I knew him and it was always good to be with someone you knew. It took the edge off being a new kid and we all know how that feels. After a year in Mrs Willaims class I ended up going to the hell of all hells Union Street school in Hackensack. Greg was already there LOL Damn Greg looks like you were just a bit more "special" then I was but I was glad to see you there first because again I had someone I knew and that was good enough. No offense to anyone at Union Street school form those years but if you went there you know what I mean. Going to this school was horrible because you rode the tart cart, were "special" and the teachers actually beat us up if we were how shall we say, "out of control".... yeah I think thats what they called it back then... Some of th teachers there loved to calm out of control kids down too much and are forever engrained in the minds of horrified " special people all over NJ. Most of my memories of Union Street school are of Teachers who tackled kids. Kids who had kids freaking out and running all over the hall way and occasionally the kid that would bolt out the door and run with a bunch of teachers chasing after LOL. I remember one day me and greg walked out of the school and decided we were going to clip and walk home. Yeha that was a master plan LOL we had to walk 5 miles back to Rutherford from Hackensack and it wouldn't have been so bad but we decided that instead of walking straight home like normal people that we would walk along the NJ transit line most of the way and throw rocks and break bottles and curse and pretend to smoke cigerettes LOL me and greg started out smoking by buying packs of marlboro red and puffing on them but not really inhaling. Damn that was dumb LOL Anyway we made it home and basically we would have been better off staying in school and getting a 30 minute bus ride home instead of the 3 hour walk home LOL. My end of school all togather was when they sent me to Rochleigh school and any of you th...Expand for more
