    Canyon Hills Junior High School - The 3 b's

    Canyon Hills Junior High School

    This school is great but I have one complaint…read more I went to Thais school for both 7th and 8th grade. I didn't have much going on 7th grade but 8th grade is where I had a problem. I remember in math class I felt very uncomfortable and scared to go in because of my teacher, Mrs Inaccopetti ( Room 314's teacher ). At the start of the year I had no issue with her since she was nice to me and I was always nice to her. I was never a problematic child. Later in the year, she started to be a bit disrespectful but I didn't mind since I knew she only wanted the best for me. Afterwards she started to get to me. During Ramadan I feel like when she learned I was Muslim she started to disrespect me. She was the Christian club leader so I can figure why she wasn't very nice to me anymore. I emailed all my teachers that I would be fasting this Ramadan and to maybe look out for certain things. This is probably how she figured out. Here's where she started to be a bit disrespectful.. I remember she came up to me while I was fasting and doing my work and she asked me to spit out my gum. I didn't know what she was talking about so I was confused. My friend later explained to her how I was fasting and she left. The next week, still fasting she said out loud in front of the class and told me to spit out my gum. I heard her this time and told her I'm fasting and I don't carry gum around campus. She went to my other friend and told her "We don't allow this kind of behaviour." So after class I was about to leave and she stopped me to ask why it always looked like I was chewing gum. I explained my habit and she learned to not mention it again. Even though everything was resolved, she's still very racist and homophobic. I remember one of my Asian friends telling me mrs Ianaccopeti went up to her while she was talking in class and she came up to her and said "I know In Asia you guys are taught to be respectful. Maybe bring that here." She was crying too afterwards. She also gets into students business. My friend is LGBTQ+ and Mrs Ianacoppeti caught him ( Trans ) and her girlfriend kissing. She stopped respecting her and started to be a bit rude to her after seeing them together. She also went to a student who wasn't doing well and told them "Good luck graduating high school with grades like yours." Or something along those words. She's nice to students who are white and Christian but not to students who are anything but that. Please have a talk with her or fire her.. otherwise the school is great! Mr finkbiner was a fun principle and the staff helped me during a case of sexual assault very well!

    Peak school. Mr. Hemsley such a good teacher. Mrs. Petrocelly was such a good teacher as well,…read moregive her raise plssss

    I attended Pomona Catholic from 1976-1980. Jimmy Carter was president during my entire high school…read moreyears. Attending a Catholic school in the 1970's was far different from today and I wish students today could experience the more creative, humanistic approach that was at PC in those days. Of course they were strict about certain things like the length of your skirt, but in the 1970's it was common to have class discussions about controversial topics. My Modern World Religions teacher was Ms. Bolle and she brought in a Christian pastor and someone from the Hare Khrishna sect and they debated and it was very eye-opening. My Freshman reading teacher was Ms. Angel Curtiss who was on loan to us from the public schools (I guess you could do that in those days) In one semester I read two Studs Terkel books (Working and Division Street America), Johnny Got His Gun and the Autobiography of Malcolm X. That class had the most impact on my life. Unfortunately, a few years back I tried to contact Ms. Curtiss to let her know the impact she had on my life but she had been killed in a car accident somewhere in the southern US along with her daughter a few years prior. Students, don't wait too long to let your teachers know how much you appreciate them. In my regular English classes we read many classics. I had Mrs. Morrison for many of my English courses. Ms. Stith was my freshman English teacher and we learned how to write a research paper which at the time was very difficult for me. I didn't do well in her class, however I would like her to know that what I learned about research in her class helped me in college later on. I had a great government teacher, Mrs. Kennedy. My freshman Social and Moral Guidance teacher, Rory Devine, later become a reporter for one of the networks in Los Angeles. Math and Science had the weakest teachers. Back in the day we only had to take pre algebra and geometry to graduate. I do think we were sort of tracked since no one ever mentioned college to me. However, I attended community college and some years later a four year college. We had Driver's Ed in the 10th grade. Mrs Phillips, one of the PE teachers taught the classroom part where we saw scary films like "Red Asphalt." That made me a safe driver. I also always remember her telling us to "leave yourself an out. Don't get blocked in on the freeway." Our behind the wheel instructor was a former marine with a buzz cut, gray suit and sunglasses who never smiled. There were two wheels in the car and he had control of one. Parallel parking was the hardest. The Tuttles were a married couple who everyone loved and I know Mr. Tuttle taught history, drama and consumer economics. I can't remember what Mrs. Tuttle taught. I remember he was trying to organize us to do a play but all of us girls were fighting so he made us sit down, gave us a talking to and had us listen to a Paul Mc Cartney and Wings song, "With a Little Luck." They later moved on to teach public school in I think Temecula. Every year we had this group come in and they set up big screens and played Styx songs. The videos were about values and doing the right thing. When we had mass at PC, they played modern type music. I appreciated that PC was a safe environment. The drug culture was in full swing so there were a lot of programs aimed at curtailing drug use due to American kids dying from tainted drugs. We also had a short program on becoming an emancipated minor. It was the 70's, what can I say. Some students also published an underground newspaper. I still have a copy somewhere. The student writers renamed the school "Prison Camp" and bitterly complained about the ugly uniforms! I wish kids today could get some of the education and experiences we got in that era. Things today are too censored and curriculum is watered down. Teachers don't have the same control of curriculum that they had in past eras. I wouldn't trade my 70's education for anything. Maybe a little project could be for today's PC kids to go back into the old yearbooks and do a compare and contrast evaluation of education.

    Teachers are very polite, but a lot of bullying. I don't need to say anything else because this is…read morenot acceptable.
