Funny School Answering Machine Message

This is hilarious – no wonder some people
were offended!
This is the message that a High School
staff voted unanimously to record on their
school telephone answering machine.
This is the actual answering machine
message for the school.
This came about because they
implemented a policy requiring students
and parents to be responsible for their
children’s absences and missing
homework.
The school and teachers are being sued by
parents who want their children’s failing
grades changed to passing grades – even
though those children were absent 15-30
times during the semester and did not
complete enough school work to pass their
classes.
The outgoing message:
Hello! You have reached the automated
answering service of your school. In order
to assist you in connecting to the right
staff member, 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

that was already enclosed in your
newsletter and several flyers mailed to
you – Press 5
If you want us to raise your child – Press

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 another language,
move to a country that speaks it.
