School answering machine message

[Dos_Box]

Thanks to Grumbledook for mailing this to me!

 

This is the message that the Maroochydore High School, Queensland,

Australia 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 school work to pass their classes.

 

 

It's zipped as it is an MP3. Enjoy

Is it just me, or is the zip file corrupt?

Awww. Shame really as it really does deliver the goods!

[webman]

Somebody had to go and spoil it didn't they

[KWestos]

The best message ever - and absolutely correct! My wife is and Education Welfare Officer and she has to deal with this every day, all the excuses are spot on - brilliant!

[EvLPhenom]

This was brilliant.

[GrumbleDook]

Couldn't believe when it came through ... thought I had to pass it on even if it is a spoof.

 

Now I've just got to see whether I can get it around to the Education Welfare lot.

For my next trick I will be telling you about the high levels of hydrogenated fats in your biscuits

It's been around for a while now but still makes me laugh. Shame it wasn't actually done really though.

Nice one, we could do with something like that on our service desk number.

Got sent it by an OFSTED Inspector would you believe last week! and thanks to the lovely interfact on my BT Phone System I should be able to drop the file straight onto it for the comedy value

[synaesthesia]

Just stumbled across this elsewhere, searched here to see if it had been posted, and of course - and why not, it's brilliant

 

G'wan, dare someone to do it. We all know it's true, we're all thinking it

If it was wasn't home of dire larger and 99% of the world most dangerous creatures (it's the only country with an indigionus venomous mammal) I really could grow to like Australia.
