A school administrator's wife scolds a student for complaining that school was not shut down during a snowstorm. Her message was caught on tape.
  • did anyone siding with the kid actually read that transcript?

    So... whats the big deal again?

    A teenager decides that 3 inches of snow means he should have a day off (lol at that one, I grew up in CT where 3 inches would NEVER mean a snow day. Less than 6 inches and crying for a snow day? Grow some balls, young man!), so he decides to call a school administrator at his home before 6.30am.

    Now, I don't care if the Dean is a 'public servant', no one should be called at their home (I presume said Dean has an office number he can be reached at during appropriate office hours) before 7 am! Its completely rude, and good on the wife for pointing it out!

    I can only imagine if one of my customers went and found my personal phone number (which, ZOMG, is listed in the whitepages) and called me at 6.30am to ask me about one of my products. I'd think 'WTF is this person doing calling me at 6.30am... AT HOME?'

    From what I've seen the wife has had enough of school crap interfering with her husbands personal life, and she got a bit pissed off. Totally understandable! She didn't swear at the kid, or call him any names. OMG she called some theoretical kids 'snot-nosed brats'.

    So what does this kid do? Goes and shows the world what a snot-nosed brat he is. I think shes right, spend a bit more time in school and a bit less time harassing people before the ass-crack of dawn, and you might go somewhere.

    For the record I'm 25 and think the kid's a moron. If he called my house at 6.30am I would've said something a lot more nasty than that lady did. Someone should publish HIS private phone number on the internets and see how he likes it.

    What a dumbass.
