(4 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - Huffman Middle has a great academic program and I am pleased, however; I do have one problem and it's ridiculous. The problem is that the students are being (harassed)over shoes. The faculty is going over board with the solid color shoe policy. One white spot in the shoe surely is not going to disrupt the teaching and if I am to receive another phone call in regards to a white spot in a child's shoe, I am going to take this matter to a higher authority. The focus is to educate the children.

- I was very happy with the school in general and it's faculty. Parents who tend to complain need to understand teachers are not there to bring their children up, but there to teach. The teachers do have a hard job teaching children, many of whom are disruptive, very little discipline, and parental supervision at home.
