Saturday, July 28, 2018

I like Mastery Shoemaker Campus because the staff there are very strict on the uniform policy and teaching the children to get along with each other with a positive attitude. Also their security is very tight during dismissal. The only thing I don't like is when SOME of the teachers get moody and treat the students according to how they feel (The teachers ups and downs).Which is not very professional. Something they REALLY NEED TO WORK ON. Other than that the school is fine. Close Quote
