why do you feel as though you have to chime in on everything here? you are an annoying twit. you should be glad i said twit.
the reason i was asking is because they changed all the names of the schools a few years ago and other than english and j. burke i didnt recognize any of the names. but you probably already knew that because you seem to know everything.

maybe im an idiot. i just get on here to hear some news from a different perspective. problem is that i always have to hear your perspective. maybe when you have something important to say you should say it. when you just want to call somebody stupid you go somewhere else. i tried googling the schools but they HAVE ALL CHANGED THIER NAMES AND IM NOT SURE WHICH IS WHICH.
Five principals to be shuffled around
The Herald reports Supt. Johnson will announce today that principals of five of the schools will be, not fired, but given new jobs elsewhere in the system.
Ah the Vatican shuffle.
I see they've adopted the Bernie the Pimp style of human resources management.
What it's like at one of the schools
Profile of Mairead Nolan, who moved to the Trotter a couple years ago from the Kilmer in West Roxbury (one of the city's best elementary schools, at least as judged by standardized test scores):
Burke
I can't speak for the elementary schools but Burke High School seems to have no shortage of resources. The computer labs, for example, are brand new and very well stocked and there is a new library and community center connected to the building.
Which Greenwood?
Would that be Elihu Greenwood or Sarah Greenwood?
Could they really not have just named one of them after someone else? Also, we get mail at work with the return address of: (Elihu) Greenwood School
Anywho
It's the Elihu. Sorry for trying to save a few keystrokes.
What I love is that there are two Curley schools right next to each other - one Mr. and one Mrs.
Yep...
But they don't put parenthesis in their names.
curley schools
"What I love is that there are two Curley schools right next to each other - one Mr. and one Mrs."
Yes, pretty interesting. You probably know that now it's officially one school, the "Curley K-8"
