Too bad no school has the balls to actually put this up…
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
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!
If you want this in Spanish, move to a country that speaks it!
This is great.Thank-You.
These are great!
Awesome! You have no idea how true a lot of those prompts are. I had two emails from the same parent a couple of weeks ago blaming her son’s attitude and laziness on senioritis. I have lots of seniors and they are not asses.

When people bad-mouth schools and state that teachers should be paid in relation to the success of their students, this is what runs through my mind.
Kids choose to fail. They choose to not do what they need to do to be successful. I cannot do the work for them.
What if I get a student with a learning disability and his/her parents won’t get that child the help he/she needs? That child suffers because of the parents and I should be held accountable?
Don’t get me started. 🙂
One more week.
Thanks all! RT- figured you’d like it. Hang in there!
There’s a similar one on the net about the police department.
“If you’d like us to raise your kids for you, press 7.”
Happy Father’s Day!
Thanks RT!
