Actual message on School Answering Machine in Australia? Worth a listen #Hilarious

(download)

Listen to the mp3 message....

Those Aussies have the right idea.

This is hilarious! Those of you who work in the public school
system would love to put this on your voice message. Well done and
probably somewhat necessary in this time......

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.
