Granted he's a brat who shouldn't of made the phone call in the first place or thrown the phone number everywhere on the internet, but for her to yell at a student in the manner that she did was uncalled for. If your number has been given to the students of your school then you have to expect some unnecessary phone calls. To take something like this (The kid's call) and take it as a personal attack is childish in its own right and reflects poorly upon her as well as the entire household.

And to Catherine yes we are rude, combative, and will fight you (When I say you I mean unreasonable adults, not to say that all adults are.) at every turn, the fact that you cannot differentiate and have ended up pooling kids together as one general and repulsive entity is, in my opinion rude, combative, and of a low standard of behavior.

While the woman was clearly agitated....we don't know what message the kid left. I am curious about that - further it was disrespectful of him to call the guys home and intrude on his family.

The kid should be suspended and his parents should teach him to respect his elders.]]>Jan 24th 2008 6:59AMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/01/23/students-snow-day-plea-leads-to-raucous-online-debate/http://www.switched.com/2008/01/23/students-snow-day-plea-leads-to-raucous-online-debate/
I grew up in Kansas and I dare say the winters there are harsher than those in Virginia. We had no school bus system. It was your responsibility to get to school.

In the time I was there, grades 4-high school and 1 year of community college, school was only closed one day. That particular storm caused 20 foot drifts on the side of houses.

So, I second the motion. Kid, shut up and get on the bus!]]>Jan 24th 2008 7:04AMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/01/23/students-snow-day-plea-leads-to-raucous-online-debate/http://www.switched.com/2008/01/23/students-snow-day-plea-leads-to-raucous-online-debate/Jan 24th 2008 7:09AMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/01/23/students-snow-day-plea-leads-to-raucous-online-debate/http://www.switched.com/2008/01/23/students-snow-day-plea-leads-to-raucous-online-debate/Jan 24th 2008 7:13AMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/01/23/students-snow-day-plea-leads-to-raucous-online-debate/http://www.switched.com/2008/01/23/students-snow-day-plea-leads-to-raucous-online-debate/Jan 24th 2008 7:26AMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/01/23/students-snow-day-plea-leads-to-raucous-online-debate/http://www.switched.com/2008/01/23/students-snow-day-plea-leads-to-raucous-online-debate/Jan 24th 2008 7:30AMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/01/23/students-snow-day-plea-leads-to-raucous-online-debate/http://www.switched.com/2008/01/23/students-snow-day-plea-leads-to-raucous-online-debate/I think the woman owes that kid a public apology. She should be ashamed of herself, and if she is embarrassed right now..GOOD!! By the way, I am not a kid...I am a grandmother with several grandchildren in their teens.]]>Jan 24th 2008 7:31AMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/01/23/students-snow-day-plea-leads-to-raucous-online-debate/http://www.switched.com/2008/01/23/students-snow-day-plea-leads-to-raucous-online-debate/Jan 24th 2008 7:34AMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/01/23/students-snow-day-plea-leads-to-raucous-online-debate/http://www.switched.com/2008/01/23/students-snow-day-plea-leads-to-raucous-online-debate/Jan 24th 2008 7:35AMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/01/23/students-snow-day-plea-leads-to-raucous-online-debate/http://www.switched.com/2008/01/23/students-snow-day-plea-leads-to-raucous-online-debate/Jan 24th 2008 7:39AMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/01/23/students-snow-day-plea-leads-to-raucous-online-debate/http://www.switched.com/2008/01/23/students-snow-day-plea-leads-to-raucous-online-debate/Jan 24th 2008 7:44AM
