My Grandfather sent this to me via e-mail. I don't know if its true but it
should be.

----------
The following is an answering machine message for the Pacific Palisades
High School in California.  The school and teachers were being sued by
parents who wanted 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 was voted unanimously by the office staff as 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 with 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/responsible for his/her own behavior, class work, homework,
and that it's not the teacher's fault for your children's lack of
effort, hang up and have a nice day!
----------

Very nice yes.
