Brisbane Elementary School

When I first started on Unilocal,I had no idea you could review schools. In fact let’s be honest, I initially joined Unilocal because I wanted to be a vindictive bastard and write a rebuking review of a restaraunt where I’d had a pretty bad experience. Sorry, I digress– I’m prone to straying off tangents. Oh shiny!
*Several fruitless hours later*
Right, where was I? Oh yes, Elementary school! Ah, the golden days of the 80’s and early 90’s. Transformers, Thundercats, He-​Man, Michael Jackson (before he got weird).
Well, I did go here between the ages of five and eleven which was a fairly long time ago. I can tell you that I didn’t turn out to become a completely socially maladjusted dishelved individual (well at least not as a direct result from attending Brisbane Elementary School).
Generally speaking it was a great school chock full of memories of playgrounds, loads of Elmer’s glue in one’s hair, oversized pencils and crayons, stacks of board games (absolutely none of which had their complete roster of game pieces), dittos –you know, those purple things before xerox, chalk boards with loads of dust, funky hydrogenated oil laden school lunches and orange afternoons waiting woefully for three o’clock (if only we knew!).
So roughly speaking, it’s worth five stars. I’d subtract half a star if I could for my Second Grade teacher Mrs. B******** confiscating an errant Transformer of mine and never giving it back– those things are worth money these days!

My kid goes here. Its a great school! The parent community is so involved, I can’t get off the schoolyard for like half an hour after I drop the kid off but for all the talking and planning. The teachers and the administration are extraordinarily concerned to make sure that my child is getting the best education he could possibly get. We love this school!
