I looked it up...Manual Training High School's name was later changed to John Jay HS (nothing to do with John Jay College of Criminal Justice, which I attended for a year to take graduate courses in Addiction Studies ((!)) and is a terrific school...taking classes with cops and firefighters was actually a great experience). it was a good Brooklyn HS for many years, but (as with most Brooklyn High Schools), its academic performance fell and kept falling, so that it was closed in 2004 and the campus now is home to three or four of these little "boutique" public high schools (NOT Charter Schools), some of which are good, others not so much. when you house several schools in one building, the logistics are a nightmare because any kind of inter-school fraternizing is forbidden so cafeterias have to be used by one school at a time...think about it. lunch at 10:30 sounds stupid; lunch at 2:30 is downright abusive.
I like to think that they'll work all this out eventually. that was the voice of the optimistic Levine on my right shoulder. the pessimist Levine on the left shoulder you're already familiar with...
That must have been fascinating tking courses with cops and firefighters. The closest I've gotten is one of my mechanics is also a firefighter. His ex-wife and daughter are Jewish. And he's a great guy.
I've never thought of having an optimistic holzman on one shoulder and a ppessimist on the other. Might have to try that.
