I wouldn't recommend anyone send their child to Shoemaker high school unless they make some drastic changes the children are out of control and the teachers are too! Since when did it become OK for a male teacher I'm sorry not a teacher a male coach threaten a female student which I have on recording where he admitted that he said it wasn't gonna be anything nice hadcshe come any closer to him...since when did it become OK for another coach to put a student in a headlock He was banned from games for a while but still employed so these are the kind of teachers that they allow to teach our children and they wonder why the children are so out-of-control!
