Thanks for the ping!
I went to Wedgewood in the 70's. I had a problem with a male teacher at that time. You never heard the words "sexual harassment" like you do now. Once I smacked him up the side of his head in class and told him "now let's go to the office" he never said a word to me again. Needless to say we did not go to the office! I didn't tell my parents I guess I figured I took care of it myself.
I have a friend who has a daughter who attended Briggs High School (she has graduated now). Her daughter was sexually attacked in an empty class room by I believe a football player. Not sure if it was football, but he was an athlete of some sort. They went to court and NOTHING was done to this jerk!
BTW, this is not an urban area. It is a part of what is called "Holly Hill."
That part of the Southwest side is a dump. If you're within three miles of Sullivant Ave., you're in the wrong part of town. Sad but true.
Love it! You sound like my German-Irish wife, same 'tude.
