i loved chaboya, all the good memories. of course middle school was the time where everyones hormones was JUST about kicking in and going crazy. it was a nice school that was circled in that made you kinda feel safe secured and well, could act however you really wanted to act.
notable teachers there is the shops teacher mr. gardei, probably the most badass shops teacher there is. i'm not sure if budget cuts cut the shops class, but i was fortunate enough to take both wood and metal shop. and let me tell you, it really did open my eyes up to industrial arts and satisfied my hunger of "hands on" learning.
a friend and i had to see for ourselves when the "pool on the chaboya roofs" was the hype. we climbed up, and to our surprise....no pool anywhere. it was quite amazing to chill up there, really my friend circled the school twice while i just sat there and watched him.
being class of 2005, chaboya was fortunate to have one of the best upcomming basketball players to date, one attends Oak Hill Academy (40-1 losing the championship) and the other is at St. Francis, whose number 1 in the state. there were others too that deserve merits but quite frankly i don't know where the hell they go.
the food here was delicious, and mr. trent (if hes still there) was one spontaneous science teacher. i've never colored more in my life than that class.
ms marshall, a wonderful english teacher who opened my eyes up to poetry from edgar allen poe and quite a few other things. i had a wonderful time learning in that class
mr. claspill, the only thing i remembered really is the rumour of how he kept porno in his microwave and learning about Maachu Pichu. at the end of the year he was selling candy and drinks for about 25 cents a pop. that was cool
life skills was a fun class, ms meacham was my teacher. i wasn't quite on good terms with her, but i cannot complain. the cooking was pretty fun.
i'll never forget Mr. Lu, T-A-ing for that math class where everyone messed around and pissed him off. Wow, if you ever wanted to know when your tax payer money was wasted it was definitely this class. Hilarious
Mr. Ferguson was also a great science teacher, quite a humble man and really answered some of my questions well.
Mr. Mitchell was an awesome history teacher. I guess I was either too young or too restless to really pay attention in his class, but the things he provided for us was exciting and hands on. I like that. the only thing i remember getting from that class was manifest destiny and how messed up the americans were to the native americans. oh well... also hes an actor and showed us a couple of productions he was in via VHS.
The only teacher i really didn't like was ms. peterson. no offense, but i guess when you deal with middle school-ers on a daily basis, you can get sick of it and sometimes its just like baby-sitting. i, however got caught up in the wrong mix and she wrongfully accused me of "acting a fool" when i clearly wasn't (and if you wanna know, i was passing papers back in my TA class and she saw me running across the class because my teacher told me to hurry up and she got me for that). whatever, i got detention, stayed in for 15 mins, shutted up, just said yes m'am whenever, then got out. but if anything she was the one who was "acting a fool," and if you believe in karma she probably got what she deserved by now. i ain't trippin
let's see, when i was in session our bball court had crappy ass tiles, and our basketball games instantly turned from a baskeball game to slippin on ice disney on ice shows. i'm serious, trade in your nikes for some jacksons!
so yeah, middle school. a good time in my life, i don't know what it is now for what it's worth, but in my time, it was wonderful. read more
