mr manoogian is a mean teacher and i advise that that you keep your kids away from this place. Arizona has enough trouble already with education...being the fourth worst state in education in the country. and this school makes it 2 times worse. mr manoogian hits us with yard sticks and makes all of the females very uncomfortable. he even tries to get really close to every kid and touch them. and last year he farted in my face
