[Right Wing Assault]

Another teacher and I from the midwest visited Stuyvesant about 12 years ago to see their science facilities and courses offered. (We couldn't find the place since it is about 10-stories high, and in our opinion couldn't possibly be a high schoool. Inside, there was an escalator. It also had a view of the Statue of Liberty from some windows.)

Here it is in the foreground, complete with pedestrian bridge. And escalators.

When we came to the school and saw the kids going in, we wondered how the school could excel based on the nasty looking kids going in. They looked like the dregs of teenage society. We were almost afraid to go in.

After being greeted by numerous smiling, polite students who were not yelling, screaming, running around, using obscenities, and who were happy to talk to us and help us, we were puzzled. We later asked a teacher why the kids dressed like gang members. The reply was, "If they look out of place in the city, they get beat up, so they have to blend in to survive."

There are escalators on every floor. It sucked when they broke down during the school day.

And we had also had window views of the Twin Towers, just three blocks south of the high school.
