Student asking for a snow day snowballs into something bigger

An ADULT would have saved the message and contacted the school board and LET THEM handle it...not pimping youtube...that part was childish.

Neither does "an adult" call a kid back and whine about snot nosed brats calling and using her answering machine in the way it was intended... to take a message. It wasn't even her call to return, yet she did. Adulthood is a fickle thing.

These days everything can and does end up on the internet. I'm not sure that it's "immature" anymore or if it's simply a sign of the times. In the past he would have told everyone else what she said and it would have been nothing more than a rumor, is this really so different?

Although this student was a little out of line for calling the principal's house, adults sometimes let their "seniority" go to their heads. There is a certain way you handle certain situations and Mrs. Tistadt didn't handle the situation in a mature way. She shouldn't have even wasted her sweet time responding to the student because that student, or any student for that matter, isn't on a need-to-know basis when it comes to matters which don't concern us [speaking from my point of view as a high school student]. Sometimes students need to stay in their place and let things play out as they may. It isn't a matter of First Amendment Rights, it's a matter of respect. I can't stand the way my generation is, as soon as something is stated that "we" don't like "we" throw hissy fits and act like we've been wronged. At any rate, both child and adult were out of line and Mrs. Tistadt has ended up looking foolish for entertaining this students petty inquisitions.
