James F. Murray Elementary School

"Honestly too me the school was great. The main thing that really was terrible , was the uniforms. Public schools aren't required to have uniforms but The District chooses whether yes or not allow students wear uniforms. But besides , the teachers were great. I was in the 7th grade in PS38 mainly because the "birth due date" which was September 31st. But I moved to Texas and now I'm in High School. (Hint: I was in 7th Grade Last Year.) Favorite Teachers of all time is Ms.Costa , Ms.Chismar and Ms.King , Ms.Miller and Mr.Green. I miss that school mainly because it was suppose to be my 8th Grade year there but look now , I'm in High School. Funny to think I probably was smartest kid in that school , all my grades here are 100s and 95s or higher. More options to choose from. Good memories. Too believe 15 years of my life I spent in New Jersey and at this school to the amount of friends I gained and lost through the years due to drama or people changing or moving. But I do miss Olivia and Bridget and other people. To believe I was the FASTEST kid in the school. Corey , Kevin , Shane were my greatest friends there until they moved. But you know what I miss the most? The enjoyment of coming to school and observing the amount of opportunities that were open for students that never took the chance take because they were so selfish or just never cared. Honestly to admit , I held back , Getting picked on , Keeping my grades low. Too be honest , I would've whooped everyone who came across me. But I kept my head down , Too keep my record clean , to stay clear of trouble. I knew if I didn't keep my head down and pretend , I would've got in some much trouble to the point I would get whooped everyday for the rest of my school life. Things were complicated in that school too. Like 6th Grade , 2 weeks of snow days and got out like some June 24th. Sometimes when teacher's taught lesson's I found it puzzling for the other peer's in the room. I lied plenty. The only reason I did is because I was scared. That the truth wouldn't sound believable enough. Teacher's and Principals don't understand that it's hard to tell the truth when it doesn't sound believable. For instance , If I was called to the office by the Principal because I was accused for bringing a knife to school. If I told her the truth , so wouldn't believe it. It's like an unaccountable situation that you just have to choose or take a lucky guess on who it was. It would be like an Incomprehensible situation to parents that were told the there child was dismissed from the school for 2 months. This is everyone's reason to hate , love , like , unlike this school. But this is America , We have opinion's , options and Amendments. Like the first one. This is well be , one of my most greatest adventures of my life. From Xzavier Robalino March 21 , 2018"

"Wonderful teachers. They don't push their students to excel to better high schools. One in particular . All the others. Love them . Less nepotism would be great.In all great school."

"Im 52 now i went to school there i didnt like miss rothman....and the math teacher was mean i only went to the 7th grade i was always being bullies and so n e way i got pregnant and moved on"

"I am very disappointed in how preparation for the District Science Fair (that doesn't occur until January 10, 2014) is being handled. The paperwork that was sent home wasn't very detailed and should have been handed out in September. The students had only a week to do the write up. Some children whose documentation was disapproved by a science teacher had to make corrections. They resubmitted their paperwork to their teacher three weeks ago and still haven't received it back yet. It shouldn't take three weeks for the appropriate teacher/s to review and approve it. The date has been changed from November 12 to November 18, 2013. A pupil shouldn't be forced to participate in the science fair or be automatically enrolled in it if he/she doesn't have a partner. Why is it mandatory for students to participate in the science fair? Students should have an option. Why are they being graded on it?"
