Mandarin Meltdown II: Former New Rochelle Schools Mandarin Teacher Threatens Legal Action Against Talk of the Sound

Written By: Robert Cox

Over the weekend, Ms. Altman became convinced, for reasons that are not clear, that we had removed the second article from Talk of the Sound (we had not) which triggered the following exchange which includes insults, crude language and various threats. Her conduct in these emails would certainly support her termination by the New Rochelle Board of Education but raises questions about such a person could be hired in the first place.

Ms. Altman,

We have been through this already. I do not remove articles because someone does not like them. The article accurately recounts information from the New Rochelle Police Department. If you have an issue with what they provided to me I suggest you contact the police or the school district.

After your initial complaint, I offered to report the incident from your point of view and have done that. You seem to believe that I removed that second article. That is not the case as I have indicated. As you can see, the second article remains online.

Please be aware that I take your threats seriously and will respond accordingly if they continue.

Don’t act like a cowerd. I will find you to go court. You will pay a big priece for this article!!!!
I have the police report. They never mentioned “Mandarin Meltdown: teacher was taken away with a stretcher…”
You made thids stupid title and it is just NOT true!!!!!!!!
A real journalist tells true! If you have the ability to remove this article, but you don’t want to do so, you are in trouble.
I will take you to court!!!!!!!! It is NOt a thread!!!!!!!!!

Ms. Altman

I have sought to address your concerns. I updated my original article and wrote a second article with your side of the story.

As you have now threatened legal action, I am going to discontinue any further communications with you and ask that your attorney contact me.

Sincerely,

Robert Cox

Altman did not stop sending emails but I am no longer responding to her. Stay tuned.

  1. NRED seemed to hire her from the local take out location
    Having read Ms. Altman’s email tirade I hate to cross the line of racial acceptance but I have the feeling from reading her writing that Mr. O may have hired her at the local take out when he was picking up his Chicken with Kung Po sauce.
    Where do they get these people from.

    1. not helping her cause
      If her goal was to convince a judge that the school district made up the information provided to the police that she went on a tirade and threatened to kill herself then the profanity-laced email packed with threats is not likely to help.

      1. Bob
        Bob…You are right…If this broad can’t figure out that you are an advocate then I say the hell with her!

        Some teacher…she can’t even spell!!!

    2. I was thinking the same thing!!
      I can’t believe that this women was teaching our children at school!!! Where did she come from? This is just crazy!!

    3. This is so funny…I can’t
      This is so funny…I can’t stop laughing!

      Where do they get these people? I swear are they kept under lock and key and when one dosen’t work out they let another out???

      This is worst then the Twilight Zone!!!

      1. I believe the word is spelled
        I believe the word is spelled “doesn’t” and I think you meant “worse”.

        Glass houses…

  2. CSD of New Rochelle’s Human Resources Hiring Skills
    It has not been a good week to highlight RIchard Organisciak’s Human Resources Department’s hiring skills. I would think that hiring a teacher to work in New Rochelle’s schools would have a minimun requirement of “must be able to communicate in standard written English.” WTFucky is going on?

    1. Here, here
      Great comment…I never agreed more…and I still can’t stop laughing!

      1. may?
        Maybe you should go work for the board of education since you know how to spell. We need some good people.

    2. Hey, they allow the ‘world saver’ to roam the halls,
      why would you have faith in the schools of New Rochelle?

      That tirade was funny, though. Doesn’t she have spell check?
