This is the message that the Pacific Palisades High
School(California) staff voted unanimously to record
on their school telephone answering machine. This is
the actual answering machine message for the school.
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 schoolwork to pass their classes.

The outgoing message:

_____________________________________________________________

"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

* 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, you must be in the wrong
country.
