Clymer Central School

I attended Clymer from 1979-1984 and I hated it...the teachers were mostly good,though there were some who were awful,but only one or two. The school itself is nice,nice atmosphere,grounds,teachers...but the students at that time treated my brother and I horribly. The superintendent at the time and the teachers did nothing to stop the constant bullying and we were shoved,stared at,pushed around and had our books knocked out of our hands all the time.In gym class which caused me great anxiety through the whole of my stay I was the shortest,last picked,least athletic and was pushed in the shower, dragged there, had my clothes burned through the holes in the locker...it was awful, and worse for my brother who was actually chased in his car bo others in a car and stared at .We were not farmers in this farming town and we were a little different so we never fit in...small towns are nice,but if you are different then there isn't any tolerance for it...at least that's how things were years ago. I have heard things are different now and they most likely are. But the experience was bad because of the students and my own inability to speak up or interact with anyone outside of academia.

I went to this school and do not think there could be any better administrators in the state!
