Hiram L Dorman Elementary School

I think the policy of not being able to tie your shoes in class is a little much and i would definetely like to hear from other parents on what they think about this policy. I wonder if other schools in Springfield follow this rule and regulation. My child was recently scolded by the principal for tieing her shoes.
