Mrs. Tistadt works in a very multicultural school with a high ESOL and FRL rate. She may be able to get away with that attitude with parents and kids from that school, but not at a school with LBSS demographics.

Wow. Just, wow. |
Let me clarify. From what I've seen as a parent and as a college administrator is that immigrant families and the families with fewer financial resources are more reluctant to fight with a school administrator than those families who have more resources or who are US-born citizens.
I believe that many immigrants at Eagle View ES would hesitate to confront Mrs. Tistadt if she was rude to their kids or to them. She would be able to get away with a certain amount of disrespect towards the students and their parents because there would be no complaints. Now if the immigrant family was at Haycock or any other McLean/Langley feeder (which I would infer would need a certain level of income to live in those pyramids), I think it would be a different story. The kids and their parents are treated with respect at these schools and those families have no hesitation complaining about anything whatsoever that doesn't go their way.
Mrs. Tistadt overstepped her bounds and at a minimum, needs to be put on administrative leave and to enroll in anger management classes.
