So I've been going to Copley since 6th grade and I'm in my 8th grade year in 6th miss. DiDonato didn't get along with my mom and took it out on me and was rude to me Then miss Skarl told me at a point that I was going to go nowhere in life and probably be held back a teacher should not be saying that to her student it was totally out of place so now onto seventh grade most of the teachers were nice but there were two that were really mean one was mr. Harris and no kids like him he's the worst teacher I've ever had in my life he gave me a detention the first day of school for not bringing my free time reading book because I forgot it he would continuously Yell at everybody in the class and pick on the kids especially with learning disabilities like myself and another kid in my class then his assistant miss.Thielen was OK she had a good personality but she was an awful teacher especially to me like all the kids in class will be talking and the second I said one word she would scream at the top of her lungs at me they were Times teachers would come in because she would be yelling I honestly wish I could've recorded it she did have a good personality though and she made me embarrassed by making me walk with her and the other kids that I had something wrong with me because of her they would treat me completely different the best teacher in that grade was Ms. Cherkala her teaching skills were phenomenal and she treated me like everybody else and even when I didn't want to do work she was able to motivate me now I'm in eighth grade and Miss Karlavec has been awful I've heard her talk about me to her assistant and she's already made me call my mom for no reason and it's the second week of school she left my mom a nasty email because I thought something started in September but it actually started in August even at the teacher meet and greet she was giving my mom nasty looks she's an awful teacher and if your child gets her ask to have your child switched classes the nicest teacher is Miss Echols in eighth grade she is been kind to me so far and her teaching style seems good honestly I have been to three different schools and out of the three Copley Fairlawn middle school is definitely the worst by far from last year's principal who was homophobic and yelled at my friend and I for holding hands to our sexiest dress code and racist logo this school is off for the kids or act like two-year-olds even an eighth grade and watching Dora the Explorer would help you learn more then the school if you were thinking about sending your child here please keep in to consideration everything I said about how your children will be miserable and a tiny bit of respect they have for themselves get washed away from the teachers as teenagers and everybody makes problems worse than they actually are and the school doesn't do anything and the teachers or sometimes racist like Miss Wagner thought an African-American girl was going to hit her with a shoe last year when she actually was just picking her shoe up off the ground and how the teachers treat them different I feel bad for each and every kid that has to go to the school and hope that they get out soon you might not listen to me because I'm a student here and not a parent but trust me the students are the ones that have to go to the school they know more about it if you want your kid to be happy send them anywhere but here even though the seventh through eighth grade principal is very kind he doesn't really change things ok I hope you take my review into consideration read more
