Review Icon Abhijit reviewed Longhorn Driving School in Austin Driver's Education:
I recently took lessons with Longhorn driving school and was able to successfully clear the driving test. Both Mike and Barbra are very nice people. Mike is a very good instructor. During the practice lessons he took me through various types of roads free ways, service roads etc .. On the day of the test he asked me drive around the same place where the test is taken. I am glad that I chose Longhorn driving school.

Review Icon annonymous1111 reviewed Longhorn Driving School in Austin Driver's Education:
I would think that this website should be careful about allowing posts to be made regarding specific names in public. I am just checking things out and it seems aweful brave of this website to allow specific names seeing that other sites dont allow this. Brave on your part is all I can say. I rated a 3 since I havent went through this training but it seems strange that the two ratings are more of an attack versus helpful facts.

Well, Horton (hears a donut), fat a**, always had a taste for donuts and it was during our driving time never with extra time to spare. My parents did not pay for him to stuff his fat face. And he is a perv. he asked all kinds of personal questions, he is a freak. I don't care about the people with positive reviews, there are more negatives than postives about this place, especially with the fat instructor. I tell all my friends not to go there, go to another driving school. People should take the negatives about this school very seriously. I have a brother that will be driving soon and my parents will not be going back to longhorn.

Review Icon Cassie127 reviewed Longhorn Driving School in Austin Driver's Education:
myself went to Longhorn, Half the time the old management was there, and then halfway through the knew people, mike and barbara took over. You couldnt ask for nicer people! I loved my experience there, i admit, the beginning owners were pretty rough. But thats all in the past. And as for the fact of Mr. Horton, the "Obese" one, He is amazing aswell! I always requested to drive with him. Yes, he had a love for donuts, but he alway's made sure we got in all the driving time we were supposed to. The donut Trips were only when we had time to spare, and he would alway's treat us right. I NEVER had a problem with him trying to get into my personal business, either. I absolutly love the new atmosphere of the building, the new owners made it much more comforting and clean. And of course, theres always that schedualing problem, but wherever you go you will have to wait, its how life is. Learn to be patient people, its not like you cant wait 5 minutes. I think the new management is doing a fantastic job, and i highly recommend sending your children there. I even go back to visit weekly!

Review Icon concerned1parent reviewed Kirby Hall School in Austin Pre-Schools:
As some have stated, students are left unsupervised quite often. They can be found playing online games upstairs, making out in the "senior lounge" (where they spend most of their day), and most concerning is the terrible curriculum. Just walk around on your own, without their tour guide. People have to understand, the Shirley Method is a home school method in which the students simply recite back what the teachers tell them. There is NO critical thinking taught in any grade. No one uses the Saxon Math anymore either, simply more recitation. Look at the drop rate, nearly no student continues beyond 8th grade, and most drop before middle school. Just ask about the curriculum committee (there is none), how long the curriculum has been used, and if it is EVER reviewed. Please just be concerned and ask questions.

Review Icon 2m1k reviewed Longhorn Driving School in Austin Driver's Education:
My daughter had problem with one of the instructors (the obese one), he was asking her personal questions and made demeaning remarks about her, totally unprofessional!!! The instructor was more worried about getting donuts then driving. I filed a complaint with TEA (they license driving schools) regarding the conduct of this instructor. If there is a complaint send it to TEA so than can log the complaints that is the only way things will change. If you complain to the school nothing will get done. Here is what should be done. COMPLAINTS If you believe that a driver training class was presented inappropriately, either due to its content, its presentation, a reduced class length, or instructor misconduct, please contact the Driver Training Investigative Unit at Jim.Crenshaw@tea.state.tx.us or call (512) 936-6777, or send a fax to (512) 936-6799. A general complaint form in Microsoft Word format is at www.tea.state.tx.us /drive/Complaint.doc and a PDF version of a general complaint form is at www.tea.state.tx.us /drive/complaint.pdf .

Review Icon Jubbley76 reviewed Stepping Stone School Child Development Center - 8419 Bowling Green Dr in Austin Childcare:
I absolutly love this daycare for my daughter, sadly we are moving, but luckily we can transfer to another Stepping Stones location. My daughter started attending three days a week when she was 9 months old. At first I was a little dismayed when the infant teacher moved on and it took a while to get a new permanent teacher - but once they did I could see they'd been searching for the right person. Miss Vicki was wonderful and tuly loves each child she looks after. My daughter moved up to the 15 month to 24 month class and all the staff helped her in the transition. I can see my daughter learning new things every day and at 22 months she always comes home and "tells" us about her day. We have had a couple of biting incidents - my daughter being the one bit, but I believe the school handled it well and this will liekly happen in any group of toddlers spending time together. All in all the staff are all great, all know my daughter by name and have been nothing but friendly.

Elsass offers my grandson so much more. Wonderful caring staff, large play areas, great classrooms, free gymnastics and swimming lessons. It is great to find a place that is family owned and cared for.
