my name is Gab Pena also known as O.G Gab by students n some teachers, i never had no problems, my coach. Ms. Brown (Rest In Paradise homes] passed when i went there n am lettin ya'll know that you don't know anything about browne till you go there. Believe that! My favorite techer was Ms. Stephanie Pounders she was real easy to talk to & never gave us hard times when a student was at a low point she would e there to talk to and help explain school work. If DISD wants to give teachers recognition it should be her & never ms. Duncan or Ms. Smith, they both don't know how to teach and alwayz verbally abuse students. People think browne isnt a good school but truth be told we just a bunch of kidz from beckley, hillside, dopeside, oct, western park,arcadia park & a lot of other zones in tha cliff. We just kids from tha hood tryin to get thru life in these streets, a lot of tha kids i know aint even tryin to get tha hood but am tryin. & i know there are some other kids who are too. no school should be low performance n have kids go some where they caint jus cuzz their zip code. GET REAL PEOPLE!! knawwwmmsayinn. myspace.com/abn_baybeh

My name is Brenda Contreras, I go to W. H. Atwell Law Academy Middle School, located here in Dallas, Tx, my cousin, & my best friend go to T.W. Browne. I think personally that this school is very unsafe. The reason: because no child should be let to be touched or even insulted in any way. My point is, however that I heard there was a murder at this school, not very long ago. There has been stories that the teacher who committed this crime, teaches in my school(W.H. Atwell), and IS in fact the murderer. I don't think thats true, because I haven't heard of such a teacher doing that. I told one of my friends about this and she said she heard something similar to the story on the news. I hope T.W. Browne will take the responsibility of caring and paying more attention to their students. I will get to the bottom of this.

MY NAME IS ERIKA SALINAS, MY KIDS DON'T ATTEND YOUR SCHOOL THANK GOD FOR THAT. I RECENTLY READ ABOUT A INCIDENT AT YOUR SCHOOL.LET ME START BY TELLING YOU THAT IM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE SCHOOL AND THE DISTRICT. IN MY EYES THERE IS NO GOOD REASON WHY YOU WOULD MAKE A CHILD RUN TO THE POINT THAT HE WOULD BE HARMED, AND IN THIS CASE KILLED. BY YOUR ACTIONS YOU ARE JUST SHOWING THE COMMUNITY THAT YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT THE CHILDREN ATTENDING YOU SCHOOL AS WELL ASS THEIR PARENTS. I HOPE THAT FROM THIS DAY FORWARD THE STAFF IN YOUR SCHOOL LEARN TO TAKE RESPONSABILITY FOR THE CHILDREN IN TW BROWNE MIDDLE SCHOOL.
