Someone from my work who likes to send joke emails around forwarded this little gem to me this week. It made my whole weekend. Approach with an appropriate level of humor at the ready.
********
School answering machine:
A School District is being sued for this message left on the answering machine. A group of rouge teachers from each school coordinated their efforts to put it on their school's machines on a Friday afternoon.
- no wonder some people were offended!
Here's the outgoing message when parents call the school......
Hello! You have reached the automated answering service of your school. In order to assist you in connecting to the right staff memeber, please listen to all the options before making a selection:
......to lie about why your child is absent - press 1
......to make excuses for why your child did not do his work - press 2
......to complain about what we do - press 3
......to swear at staff members - press 4
......to ask why you didn't get information that was already enclosed in your newsletter and several flyers mailed to you - press 5
......if you want us to raise your child - press 6
......if you want to reach out and touch, slap or hit your child - press 7
......to request another teacher, for the third time this year - press 8
......to complain about bus transportation - press 9
......to complain about school lunches - press 0
......if you realize this is the real world and your child must be accountable and responsible for his/her own behavior, class work, homework and that it's not the teachers' fault for your child's lack of effort - hang up and have a nice day!
......if you want this in spanish, you must be in the wrong country.
Thank You!
