> This is the message that the Pacific Palisades High School
>(California) Staff voted unanimously to record on their school
>telephone answering machine. 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.
>
> This is the actual answering machine message for the school:
>
> "Hello! You have reached the automated answering service of your
school.
>In order to assist you in connecting the right staff member, pleas e
>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 child's lack
>of effort: Hang up and have a nice day!"
