I'd like to think of something similiar for some of our customers.......

>SCHOOL ANSWERING MACHINE

>

>This is the message that apparently a Secondary School staff in the Midlands voted unanimously to record on their school telephone answering machine.

>

>This is the actual answering machine message for the school. It 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 now being threatened with legal action by some parents who want their children's failing marks changed to passing marks - even though those children were absent 15-30 times during the

>term and did not complete enough schoolwork to pass their various key stages.

>

>The outgoing message:

>

>"Hello! You have reached the automated answering service of your school.

>In order to assist you in connecting to the right member of staff, 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/her 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 letters posted to you - Press 5

>

>* If you want us to bring up 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 transport - Press 9

>

>* To complain about school lunches - Press 0

>

>LASTLY:

>

>If you realize this is the real world and your child must be accountable and responsible for his/her own behaviour, class work, homework and that it's not the teachers' fault for your child's lack of effort:

>

>Hang up and have a really wonderful day!

>

>If you want this in other languages, you must be in the wrong country.

>This is England.
