Kori Calling
Gosh I wish we'd had YouTube when I was in high school. I would love to have been able to do what 17-year-old Devraj "Dave" S. Kori did when he was blasted by the spouse of a Fairfax County school administrator for leaving a message on their listed home telephone asking why a snow day hadn't been declared. She called back and left an angry message on Kori's cell and it found its way to YouTube.
We have the economy tanking, presidential candidates fighting, a promising young movie star dying, Dan Snyder on another mysterious hunt for a Redskins coach, and all these stories have attracted many comments, some of them highly nuanced. But Our Readers Who Comment are very clear about Kori's story: they either think he was horrible or the administrator's spouse was horrible. I'm with the kid, but of course a recording of whatever message he left has not been made available so perhaps I would have a different view if it were.
Who do you think was right? Feel free to comment below.
This story was occasioned by a snowstorm, the very suggestion of which brings out the worst in Washington. So the RWC weigh in on that, on the perils (or advantages) of today's technology, on the righteousness or idiocy of school administrators generally, on the permissive age that gives us spoiled kids who will not be able to get a job because their high-school transactions will show up on Google, and whether people should have listed phone numbers.
We'll start with goodoldboy1, who was first out of the gate on this one, and who wrote, "This kid won't go far in the real world. Try calling up the CEO/CFO of your company and ask them why they didn't cancel work that day... it seems its just the ramblings of a self centered youth just trying to tell the world that he'd be better off at home playing his new video game..."
And reporter1, one of our regulars who comments on many things, fired back almost immediately, "You can't find a bigger social/professional class of twits than school administrators. But... please understand that today's cyber-world is now an arena for intemperate remarks and foolish behavior--even for supposed adults."
To which john65001 added, "I second that, and would add bitter, angry, and arrogant. This kid's going to leave the FCPS [Fairfax County Public School] system behind and never look back, while these losers are where they will be 20 years from now."
JimDandy1 said, "In Upstate New York we get 9" of snow while we are at school without incident. Nobody gets hurt. Urging phone harrassment is rude and a disregard for implied privacy rights in the Constitution."
Tirade1 wrote, "The student exercised poor judgement. The wife's response was far more atrocious--an adult should know better."
giantpacificoctopus said that "If you're a public official, and don't want calls from the public (which include students), then why have your phone number listed?..."
catmink wrote, "A 3.977 GPA and 0.000 common sense."
readerny said, "I don't agree with the tirade by the woman who answered the call, BUT as an employer of young adults, I can say that there are some (not all) who are overempowered and think that they know the whole story, or more than you do, and should be running the show themselves..."
But Nicester wrote, "Overempowered kid" and "self-centered youth" - OK, that's one perspective. Sounds a bit like "whippersnapper" or whatever the Greatest Generation was calling the Baby Boomers when they were dropping acid and rolling in the mud at Woodstock..."
Meredith2 warned, "Well, look at the bright side. In a a couple of years, dear little Mr. Kori will be applying for all of the jobs he thinks he'll be entitled to. And after googling his name, employers will be throwing his resume in the trash can. Technology bytes both ways kid."
DaysofBrokenArrows said, "Hehe. Tis kid gives me hope for the future. When we were in school, we were treated like garbage -- just as this kid was... Thanks to technology, arrogant school administrators no longer can get away with this. Great job!"
dane1 wrote, "When I was 17, other stupid, self-involved, 17-yr-olds made my life miserable. And damned if they're not STILL doing it."
fluffmongrel asked, "... You think she left an appropriate message on this kid's cell phone? Of course, we don't get the privilege of hearing his call. Maybe he was rude. But the proper response would have been to forget about it... She treated this kid worse than I treat unwanted calls from solicitors..."
kellybcool wrote, "Neither my spouse nor I would dare to take it upon ourselves to answer a work-related message left for the other on our ansering machine. It is even more inappropriate where the other spouse holds a position of public trust..."
abc1 said, "... The wife should be embarrassed. She should also apologize to the young man."
And we'll close with hartman_john, whose suggestion on how to handle this in the first place is the least likely to happen of any I read today. He wrote, "Children under 18 should not have access to any technology that allows them to do stupid stunts like the one outlined in this article. Kori's parents...ought to... confiscate this stupid kid's phone, computer and any other electronic devices he has..."
All comments on Kori's call are here.

The internet is modern proof of the pen being mightier than the sword. From Mrs. T's comments, it sounds like Mr. Kori was probably about as congenial to listen to as Mrs. T's rant. To borrow another old saying, two wrongs don't make a right. Mr. Kori is no hero in my books and not someone I'd want working for me - if he would even come to work on a day it snows, and as for Mrs. T., well, an anger management course might be a wise choice - oh, and an unlisted phone number.

Let it go people. What this kid did was boneheaded but he is just a kid and I'm sure he has learnt his lesson as did the lady.
I've seen several mentions of this kids address, phone number and the names of his parents and siblings. Why stop at that? What next? Post photographs of his whole family? Throw them in prison? Ostracize them from society?
The people who disproportionally complain about this kid are the ones who have lost their moral compass and have sacrificed their judgement and perspective for draconian hatred. Let it go people. Let it go.

I as a person who was a high school senior last year was very offended by her comments. To refer to children as snot nosed brats is just plain rude. Since when did adults have so many problems in their personal lives that they must take it out on others. Also, since when is questioning authority bad. We have seen people with power time and time again abuse it, it is something we need as a society to constantly monitor. I think it is RIDICULOUS that a child is being yelled at for asking a simple question. I hope that woman gets medication

Posted by: LB kid | January 25, 2008 4:11 PM
The kid absolutely had it coming. The little idiot deserved much more for calling them at home at who knows what ungodly hour. That's just rude and unnecessary. I understand she was upset, but she should not have left a message in these days of youtube. It will come back and bite you in the behind. I would've called his parents and disturbed their sleep and then had the kid suspended so that he could have all the days off his spoiled little heart desired. Some people are taking the kids side, but seriously why? He called their house to complain they weren't getting a day off because it was snowing? Boo f-n hoo. His parents should be mortified they raised such a moron. I also would've called the cops and filed a complaint for phone harassment. He's 17, almost a legal adult. The fact that he's 17 is what's really ridiculous. This is something an 8 year old would do. How dare that kid think he's in the right and try to make her look like the bad guy. Kids today think they deserve everything. I'd be so ashamed if he was my son.

My post below seems like an attack on FCPS. That is so far from my intent, I hasten to balance my trivia by noting that US News & WR study recently named an FCPS high school the best (public) high school in America. Since their criteria measured the achievement of students, it follows the highest achieving students in America weree educated by FCPS.
Posted by: jhbyer | January 25, 2008 6:38 AM
Caroline wisely says, "And you do have to be careful these days; you never know when your image or voice will show up on the internet." Yes, and it seems especially we dare not mess with kids educated by FCPS. Remember "Macaca" who put his video on the 'net of then Senator George Allen (R-VA)? That FCPS alumi is said to be solely responsible for ending the GOP control of the US Senate. And if that seems heavy-handed, remember the VA Tech gunman, Cho? The FCPS alumni felt so very dissed he shot more dead at one time than any killer in US history. (Like Mrs. Tistadt, Cho complained bitterly of "snot-nosed brats" or something close to that). Lesser known angry young FCPS alumni, William Kennedy, just a few ago shot up an FC police station after he'd been given a traffic citation, killing two young officers, parents of small children, our first ever to die on duty. Very sad.
Posted by: jhbyer | January 25, 2008 4:44 AM
Kids today are so lazy and coddled. A little slush on the ground and he feels entitled to involve a school administrator's family by calling his home? Wimpy little punk. The wife's response is understandable; I'm sure she's had enough of such brats. Even though I'd imagine her husband is not at all pleased with the attention. And you do have to be careful these days; you never know when you image or voice will show up on the internet.
Posted by: Caroline | January 25, 2008 1:11 AM
FORMER FCPS STUDENT, thanks for highly relevant details missed by the news coverage. As a 22 yr resident and parent of a former FCPS (K -12) student who went to elementary school near Lake Braddock High (we lived on Lake Braddock) I can vouch for the truth of what you wrote about the dangers. For readers who don't get it, Fairfax County is built on the fall-line between the Piedmont Upland and the Atlantic Coastal Plain, so it's hilly and wooded, twists and turns, down east and up west. At least two drivers in the last few years went off roads into ravines and weren't found for a week. Countless others lost less than a week aren't news. Two years ago, when it snowed, a student driving to school hit an ice patch and was killed. As a result, last year it seems every snow flake occasioned schools closing, which lengthened the school year and caused much criticism, no doubt forcing Mr. Tistadt to be up at 4:00 am, as his wife complained, screaming into David's voice mail, as if it were all his fault.

Funny how this incident is being spinned by a few people - it's claimed to be young vs old, democrats vs republicans.
In fact, all it is, is a bratty kid feeling entitled to destroy another human being because he felt dissed.
We dishonor the Bill of Rights when we claim the kid was exercising his First Amendment rights.
Parents are at fault, and the schools also: way too much emphasis on "self-esteem" - so, grades get inflated, and egos too.
I wouldn't have left the message that Candy left, but on second thought, it was just the words that the kid needed to hear.
Kudos to Candy! Educators are unsung heroes who endure constant unspeakable abuse because a lot of parents are unreasonable and are terrible role models to their kids.

Ever try to drive on Guinea Road with even an inch of icy slush? How about Olley Lane, or Lake Braddock Drive? Burke Road, maybe? No? Oh, you don't LIVE there, I see. Well, guess what. Dave Kori does. He was AT SCHOOL on his lunch break when he made the call. He was legitimately concerned about his and his fellow students' safety. He called Dean Tistadt's office number first, and was unable to reach him. Then he called the listed home number, and left what was, by all accounts, a polite request for information about the decision to keep school open that day, along with his contact information. Then he probably (though I am assuming here) went back to class. Up to this point, everything was civil - even the phone call to Dean Tistadt's home. (Most people I know, my husband and I included, get called at home for work-related issues. Just part of the 24/7 world we live in.) The ugliness started with Candy Tistadt's response, which begat an equally mean-spirited response from Dave Kori. I don't condone his posting of the message on the Internet. But if I were Kori's parents, the first thing I would do (after suspending Dave Kori's Internet and cell phone privileges for about a month, and firmly explaining to him that posting voicemails on the Internet is not acceptable conflict resolution) is call Candy Tistadt and demand an apology for her abusive tirade. She had no right to leave that vitriolic voicemail about an issue that was none of her concern. Dave Kori called at lunchtime, which in FCPS is roughly 11AM - 12:30PM, from my days there. This is hardly an indecent time to place a phone call to a residence. Furthermore, calling Dean Tistadt at home was NOT the first course of action. And no one has bothered to ask - where was Dean Tistadt when Dave Kori called his office? Or did HE decide to skip work because of the weather?
I've lived in Northern Virginia for over 30 years. A few inches of snow would not be a big deal, but we rarely get "just snow". It's almost always snow, followed by sleet and freezing rain, which creates the dreaded "black ice" conditions that make driving around here so treacherous. For the record, I was at work all day during the snow event, and when I left work at 5pm, I had to walk very gingerly to my car because of the slick sidewalks outside my office building. It's not the snow in this area, it's the ICE that's the problem. Dave Kori was right to question Tistadt's decision. It's what he did after Candy Tistadt unleashed her vitriol that was wrong.
Posted by: former FCPS student | January 24, 2008 6:20 PM
Why is everyone saying the adult should know better and just ignore it?? Is that how we teach "kids" their behavior is unacceptable - by ignoring it?? First of all, this guy isnt a "kid" - he is 17 who feels entitled. His parents should have made him replace his web page w/an apology to the COO and his wife. Why is the wife not allowed to return a phone call to HER HOME??? He has a lot to learn about what is acceptable in the work place. Who calls their boss at home to question their decisions?? A SNOT NOSED BRAT - who would soon be unemployed if he worked for our company.
Posted by: lb | January 24, 2008 5:18 PM
This is quite the comment thread.
We have "Madeleine in FL" telling "Kori and the rest of X generation" to "get some education," right after misspelling the name of the school administrator's wife and incorrectly (on two grounds) stating that her "right to privacy are first Amendment rights."
There is SUSAN CERIMELE, who feels a need to SHOUT AT US with all ALL-CAPS MESSAGE.
Bob from MoCo adds the insight that the kid's supporters are Democrats, while the wife's supporters are Republicans.
Where is H.L. Mencken when we need him to tell us that no one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people?
Posted by: Laughing At This | January 24, 2008 12:30 PM
I lived in Detroit for 10 years and I am used to driving in snow. In Virginia, if there is even a slight chance of snow, people are already lining up in the grocery stores to stock up on milk and bread. Kids expect the schools to be closed when there is snow. Go figure!
If Kori's intent was to better understand the rationale behind the decision, that is acceptable. BUT, regardless of the content of the message that Kori left, the manner which Mrs. Tisdadt chose to respond was very inappropriate.
As for posting the message, she left the message -- it is fair game.
Posted by: rotoedger | January 24, 2008 11:10 AM
HILARIOUS! First off, I do not approve of the boy calling the home of the administrator but it was probably bad judgement. Didn't we all feel entitled at 17 years of age? What I think is so darn funny is that this woman thought for even a spit second that she deserves privacy from what she did? What expectation of privacy could she possibly have had leaving a message on a recorder? I'm 35 so not completely in touch with the latest technology but I have learned, the hard way, never to leave "it" on voice mail, in a text message or on email. I don't think she should have had to take a call from this child but she had NO business calling back (the message wasn't for her but for her husband!) and she deserves the embarrassment she got from UTube...she should have known better. Maybe she needs to go back to school and learn about this thing they call the INTERNET!

1) for all of you saying dave isn't a bright student and has an "inflated" GPA, suck it up. He's brilliant, and I assure, you, wayyyy brighter than your child.
2) If you haven't realized it by now because you're all ignorant FOOLS, we don't care about the snow and not getting out of school. That's not the issue. The issue is how this woman responded to a polite phone call. No wonder all the incompetent candidates are left for the presidential nomination-- you're the idiots voting.
Posted by: LB Student | January 24, 2008 3:17 AM
There is no question that the administrator's wife got caught at a bad momenta and, thanks to technology, it became national news.
Having said that, I must assert that the fault lies with the kid. It is entirely inappropriate to call the home of an administrator under any circumstances. Not even the worst kid in my class would have dreamed of doing it when I was in school. The wife's message was shrill, but I would ask if people listened to what she was saying. This guy got up before the crack of dawn and drove in and was working his ass off trying to figure out what to do. If we say it's okay for this kid to bypass all chains of command and call the chief administrator at home, we must give that benefit to all kids (and janitors, etc.). And then we have chaos.
The scary thing for me is that so many people feel the kid's actions were appropriate. Young people have a lot more exposure today than they did in my day, they generally have more privilege, and many are very smart. But if you haven't lived life and experienced the difficulties it brings, you know bupkis. Squat. Zero. You know zilch, Kori. Zilch.
There was a day when people understood this.

A FRIEND, thanks for posting. We need the kind of calm, reasonable reality check your comment provides.

A teenager is allowed to experience a moment of embarrassment and indiscretion--that's how we learn. An adult (particularly one who deals with children on a professional basis and is married to a public official), on the other hand, needs to know how to behave. This woman's reaction is offensive. I'm glad she's gotten some notoriety. Who does she think she is, talking like that to a person she doesn't even know?! Spouses of professionals get crazy calls all the time (I'm a doc, and my husband is a doc, and I've answered several of his calls from patients who call at dinnertime or late at night). Spouses have no business answering calls (or returning calls) in this manner. I would never dream of talking to another person in the rude manner of Ms. Candy. I seriously wonder about her professional capacity and mental balance.

Want to stay out of school because of snow? Don't go! Parents, if you or your child gets hurt on the way to or back from school, don't complain.
What is this lady teaching her school kids? How to be rude and out of control? There is a delete button on your answering machine - learn how to use it.
Kid - you crossed the line calling someone at home invading their privacy.

Go Ms. Tisdat!!!
Slow News day and Get a Grip, People. The FCPS has been consistently rated by essentially all reviewers as one of the highest rated public school systems for all grades K-12 in the entire USA for more than two decades on virtually all measures, academic and otherwise and people like Mr. Tisdat make it so.
Yes, FCPS is a large system and NOVA weather can be capricious, but making tough calls are what administrators are PAID for and yes, it's worth $152K a year. I wouldn't want that job myself - the weather in Lake Braddock can be very different than the weather in Fairfax Station or Clifton due to traffic and topography but closing schools system-wide for an area that large is something that should not be considered lightly. When I was a kid in Lake Braddock ('70s) we needed at least 4 inches before they'd even consider closing school.
However, today at 38 years old, I'd sure like to get out of work for 3 inches of snow!!! We don't get snow where I live now, we get ICE. It's warmer in Greensboro & Charlotte, NC but try driving to work or going to school on ICE. That is a whole 'nother thing. I'll take 6 inches of snow over ½ inch of ICE any time.
Shut up Kori, THERE IS A REASON why experience COUNTS and respect for your elders is not the first of them.

I hope the college of his choice rejects this whinny loser. What a self-centered slob. Guess he was never taught any manners.
Posted by: ron | January 24, 2008 12:02 AM
WOW! Couple of things strike me as VERY STRANGE:
Clearly the first one is how upset some of you are over this. Particularly how mad some of you are at the kid (um, he's 17). I'm in my mid 30's and I don't have amnesia, so that means I remember all the crazy pranks I pulled when I was his age, and I'm not so sure his was even a prank. Regardless, please, I would like for any single one of you who posted a scathing (and most disturbingly, sometimes threatening) message about that kid, I hereby challenge you to publicly state that you never pulled a stunt when you were young... of any kind. Please. Go right ahead, I haven't called anyone a liar all day so might as well start with you. Can't believe how emotionally unstable some of you are (mostly Candy).
Second - who is the kid and who is the adult? Name calling? Broad sweeping insults aimed at the kids for whom her husband is supposed to be serving as an educational administrator and ROLE MODEL?? Are you #($& SERIOUS?? Good Lord, how our standards have fallen! Don't we preach to our kids about counting to ten, controlling our anger, acting like adults? What a great example. Sorry, lady, but you screwed up royally in the digital age and sometimes you pay for that. Just ask Alec Baldwin. ;)
Third - the main assumption people are making is that the kid did this as a prank or with the intent of making the Tistadts violently angry. Uh, hello? He left his real name and his real number on the message, apparently hoping someone would call him back with some info. Boy did they. Question: How many of you ever crank called someone and left your contact information? Ever egg a house and leave a note on the door saying it was in fact you, little Billy Valentine, just down the street at 14 Piney Blvd who did the dastardly deed?
Are we to believe that he made that call and left his name and number hoping to get this kind of response so he could become an instant internet sensation? How would he have known Crazy Candy would get the message vs. her obviously more level-headed spouse for whom the vm was apparently intended? How did he know what frame of mind she would be in? Perhaps he knows them personally? Perhaps she's been a nut like this in public before and has a reputation (might not be a stretch)? If all of this is true and this was exactly how he planned it then one thing is for sure - THIS KID IS SMART!!! Talk about impressive! Imagine! Such accurate psychological profiling, masterful planning and execution! Makes me ashamed of myself that all my friends and I could ever think of were such comparatively pedestrian antics like leaving bags of burning poop on the door mat and ringing the bell. Sad for us.
Personally, I seriously doubt this was his master plan (as I'm sure do you) but if it was then my hat is definitely off to you, kid. This may well be the brightest generation yet, though, Dave Kori, you should probably take that intelligence of yours and try to do something a bit more constructive with it.
Peace,
Jay
Oh, and one more thing... to the anonymous person who posted this kids contact information... his physical address even... what were you hoping for? Someone to do violence or vandalism on him or his family? I hope this wasn't you, Crazy Candy, but whoever it was, it will come back to you. Karma.

I am 24 and did not miss Kori's generation. In fact, you can say that my generation bridges the gap between the tech- savvy and the the book-readers. So, think of my comment as neutral in nature because I am young enough to remember but old enough to regret.
To save everyone the time, here it is in bullet style:
*Kori IS a brat since he retaliated by airing dirty laundry in public as a spoiled brat throws a tantrum in Toys"R"Us.
*Candy may have said that her husband deals with "brats", however, she never said he "only" deals with brats. Therefore, she was not generalizing because, in truth, her husband does deal with brats.
*Kori IS not very experienced in the adult world. Let us consider his first dip a sink, rather than a swim. So much for the debate guru.
*Candy, is that your real name? Your a little cinnamon firecracker and I can tell that you really care for your husband. It must hurt to know that your husband is not backing you up after you verbally gave that "little brat" a lickin' for your hubby.
*Kori, please stay away from debate. I know too many folk who have difficulties with understanding the difference between academic debate and real world conflict. Debate is purely for the win (right vs wrong) while real world conflict is about compromise. You might have had a fair chance at winning your snow day by collecting 10% of the PARENT'S signatures and petitioning. Instead, you tried to take on the big cheese alone. Who does that? Stupid, stupid, stupid.
*Candy NEEDS a vice.
Good battling to all!

well, though I think that Kori seems to have a very adult head on his shoulders; (having the guts to call, being mature enough to leave a level-headed message rather then a crank call)
but I do believe that he has a slightly immature view of the world; (giving out the home number of the offical was a little too much of a low blow)
with that said, if i were in his shoes, i probably would have done the same thing (posting the voicemail, just not the home number).
I listened to the voicemail the psycho babbling banchee left... my initial thoughts and feelings were complete astonishment.
first of all, PBB shouldn't have even responded to a voicemail that wasn't directed at her, but if she felt soooo compelled to call up this kid and put him in his place then it would have been acceptable for her to leave more of a non-chalant, matter-of-fact message "sorry I can not be of help to you in trying to contact my husband, as you can understand he is very busy today and will be working long hours this week to cope with the stress of the inclement weather, please understand that he is not dismissing you, and that he will try to get to your call as soon as he can. if you have any more questions it would be better if you try him at his office rather then his home phone, his office number is ***-***-****. thank you."
now, was that respectful response so hard? I don't think that it is the puny 3" of snow, or the gull of Kori to try to obtain a response towards his questions. but it is the disrespectful, irate, overreaction of a overprivleged spouse of an elected offical. would she cop that anger with an adult? why does she feel the need to become so hostile towards another? simply put, she overreacted, and is borderline certifiable. and the young man should gain a learning experience from this to not kindle the lit fire by publishing a home phone number to someone he disagrees with.
just my 5 cents

Although it was inappropriate for Mr. Kori to call the Tistadt resident to complain about something as minor as a snow day, Candy Tistadt's response was completely overboard.
It disturbs me that Mrs. Tistadt is an educator of elementary school children; I cannot help but wonder how the parents of her students feel, knowing she considers FCPS kids to be "snotty nosed brats". I know that if she taught my children, I would want her fired immediately or at the very least receive a public apology.
So bad judgment on the part of Mr. Kori, but even worse judgment from Mrs. Tistadt.

because it doesnt snow a lot in Virginia, 3 inches of snow accumulating very fast in Virginia is a big deal. there isnt the proper equipment such as plows, etc in high numbers.
btw kori = hero

I can't believe this has gotten so out of hand. It is really pathetic. If the student felt that it was not safe to return to school, then he should have stayed home and used it as an excuse. I don't see how this is such a dire emergency that it needs the attention of the Dean at home. And what about the Chain of command. Why didn't he ask the principal? One day away from school is not going to lower his GPA and it isn't like he could not have made up the work that he missed. Honestly, the student sent the events in motion. I can understand calling someone for a life threatening emergency, but three inches of snow where no issue really exists if the student decides to stay home seems very excessive. As well posting the phone number crossed the line. If he wanted to share the phone call- fine, posting the number is definately harassment. I feel sorry for this country when this generation runs things. Their sense of entitlement and cocky attitudes are only going to lead to this country falling to third world status. Enjoy your freedom and prosperity while it lasts in this country. In less than 10 years this generation will be responsible for us. I dread the thought. As for the person who would hire this person, I sure hope you don't need someone dependable. He might call you when it rains and ask why you did not shut down work.

$152,145 = Tistadt's Salary (as of 11/1/04)AND I just realized that his wife, Candy Tistadt is listed as a Fairfax County Public Schools employee working at Eagle View Elementary School, http://www.fcps.edu/eagleviewes/staffdirectory2.htm. WHY hasn't this fact been mentioned in the media??? This woman should not be allowed anywhere near children of any age. She has no common sense and no self control.
As a former public school teacher, whose compensation was less than 20% of Mr. Tistadt's, here are my thoughts...
First of all, please pause for a moment and answer this question:
Have you or your spouse / significant other EVER chosen to respond to a message that a client/boss left for the other party and then decided to leave a RECORDED irate tirade referring to the other party's client base in derogatory terms, e.g. "snotty-nosed little brats"?
This wasn't an impulsive *69 reaction to a 2 a.m. prank phone call. Mrs. Tistadt took the time to listen to the message. She got Mr. Kori's name and phone number. She then decided to call a student -- a minor, and when she reached a voice mail box, she made the decision to RECORD an abusive rant on an underage minor's voicemail. This is not the behavior of a rational adult - period!
If Mrs.Tistadt doesn't want to receive calls from her husband's clients a.k.a. the "snotty-nosed little brats" that are keeping him out late at night (???), then I highly recommend that she:
#1 Encourage her poor, tortured husband to resign from his position as a public official making in excess of $152,145. I feel confident that there are plenty of highly qualified individuals who, along with their family members, have enough commonsense a) not to respond to work related messages at home if that is too unbearable or b) to get an unlisted number.
#2 Seek Professional Help ASAP for rage / anger management, destructive / inappropriate behavior (lack of impulse control), apparent general misery / unhappiness, &/or whatever other issues she has. Since she is now a celebrity, she may want to follow the usual "out of control celebrity" process of issuing an apologetic statement explaining her psychotic breakdown and immediately entering rehab.
Seriously though, if you or your spouse make less than $150,000 per year & have ever received a call from a client/boss outside of the office and handled it without having a psychotic meltdown, then you should be taking young Mr. Kori's side, too.
The snow is a moot point. However, for those non-D.C. area people please know that it is not the amount of snow so much as the fact that even when it rains here; people completely forget how to drive, and the roads are truly dangerous. There were many valid concerns from rational adults as to the safety issues involved in having kids, parents, and buses on the roads given the weather we ended up with that day.
Young Mr. Kori took some (perhaps naive / misguided) initiative and determined the specific individual responsible for a decision that he disagreed with, which was Mr. Tistadt. Mr. Kori then attempted to contact Mr. Tistadt at his office and got no answer. Mr. Kori then chose to call the HIGHLY COMPENSATED public employee, Mr. Tistadt, at a published number, where Mr. Kori then left both his full name and his phone number. This was NOT a prank call, but a call made to a published number during acceptable calling hours. Mr. Kori left a message for Mr. Tistadt, not Mrs. Tistadt. Mrs. Tistadt chose to sieze her 15 minutes of fame.
If some adult had been stupid enough
