Posts on You Tube. Washington Post does story. Another school official says student has "civility gap." This message will teach him civility:

You go girl! Why is it that so many kids today think they are entitled to do whatever they want - call whomever they want - post whatever they want. There is no respect! The Tistadt family had been receiving (enduring) multiple phone calls, which included some threats, all morning and the call from this student, Mr. Kori, just pushed her over the edge. I feel for her, and her husband, and want to hear a public apology from this 'child' who called and left the message for her husband, and then felt it was ok to post her message publicly.
I think too many people do not realize how many civil servants take their responsibility to their charges very seriously; often neglecting home and family for their duties. This poor lady is expressing her frustrations at the neglect of respect that her husband similar service staff receive from the public. My hat's off to her!

This was an "adult" screaming at a minor. Whether or not her frustrations are justified, this is not the grown up way to handle it. Remember, she wasn't answering the phone and just lost her cool; she picked up the phone, called the kid back and left this message where she personally attacked the boy.
Surely there are more mature ways to teach the kid it's inappropriate to call his school officials at home.
