School Answering Machine Message

California's Pacific Palisades High School teachers voted unanimously to record this answering machine message on the school telephone answering system:

"Hello! You have reached the automated answering service of your school. In order to assist you in connecting the right staff member, please listen to all your 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 someone, 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 children's lack of effort...hang up and have a nice day!"

Jazakum Allah Khair for that one sister Kathy!!! ;) Sometimes I wonder what happened to reality and raising children.  My favorite line is, "My child is bored!"   :P

I thought it was a wonderful message. Anyone who has run a school or teaches knows that the parents often blame the school for every ill thier child does!

Rarely does a parent look to his/her own child rearing ways....
