WESH 2 News Volusia County Bureau Chief Claire Metz said she always enjoyed working with Mr. Haught.<\/p>\n
“Brandon was just great,” she said. “I was always satisfied to the umpteenth degree with him.”<\/p>\n
Mr. Haught was no pushover, though, Ms. Metz said, something that she believes will serve him well in the classroom.<\/p>\n
“Brandon will never do your job for you,” Ms. Metz said. “You need to know what you’re looking for when you come to him, and I think that will translate really well when he becomes a teacher. He’ll have all the information at his fingertips, but he’ll make the students work and figure things out for themselves to get it.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
