SMH
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.
