Even if it ISN'T true...there is truth to it.SCHOOL ANSWERING MACHINE This is hilarious - no wonder some people were offended! 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 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 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!

Who IS responsible...

I rhink chooling is more of a problem in the states, not meaning to offend anyone! but we have a better education system in CAnada, our teachers get payed way more. However that isnt to say there are bad schoolsm, But I go to a Jesuit High School, So My school is very strict, but very good.

I'll forgo the irony of your; poor spelling, syntax, sentence structure, and grammar of your post. lolA primary reason why our education system 'may' be better is due to a wider-standardization of materials and testing; also, Canadian society tends to focus more on nuturant and proactive social policies (The big downside being a much higher tax rate)

i saw it, I laughed, but I neve knock on people for being shitty at typing ro spelling.spelling you either can do it or you cant. I had a guy I knew who was big into law, not an atttorney, but better than a layman. It was all union business. He was brilliant, rarely lost a grievance, negotiated a decent and mostly fair contract, attended nation conventions and all sorts of shit. He spelled and wrote like he was 10. and as for typos ? fuck Im not an idiot, but my typing skills leave somethign to be desired.I do get a laugh out of knocking someones school saying how great yours is when the post looks like that though

Thatguy's post was to funny.I am the same as you. I can't spell shhit. I often spend more time spell-checking a post then typing it.I don't have a problem with people who can't spell or who's grammar is lacking, the only people I have a problem with are those that post in text-talk. That irritates the crap out of me.I do miss the phantom F's in your posts though.

I can spell shit I just cant spell worth a shit, but thats only true if Im typing it instead of writing it out long hand.The thing I am best at though is procrastination Im supposed to be cleaning uot te garage for that damned cat to have kittens in but I just cant seem to get started even though I already walked down there and had a smoke in it then walked right back upstairs and sat at the computer typing away dreading cleaning it up.Im second in procrastination only to Bobbo who seems to be able to put shit of indefinatly, even when its in his best interest to do them right away.This is in my best interest to do soon as shes nto far off and if she has them in the house julie will fucking gut me like a fish.My phantom fs disapeared when I knocked a beer over on my laptop and killed it and startede using the desktops to surf.I do miss my lappy, but am not currently in a postition to buy a new one, and dont want to spend he money on a new motherboard to fix the old one as its become to far outdated to be much use for shit that I need a laptop for. (think drafting and billing and concepts for work) and Im with you on thta text talk teen type what the fuck ever it is.Ill wade through a full page of shitty typing and spelling mistakes, but I dont even bother to try reading a single line of that shit.

Don't make fun of him.It's a fact that Canada has a really great school system.
-
I will make fun of him as I wish (I tried not to, you pushed me into it..thanks Pink); it was absolutely ironic he was bragging about superior education with a post as discombobulated as that.
-
This website isnt about making fun of other people.
-
I disagree...this was an apple of opportunity FAR too shiny and ripe to disregard. You cannot brag about your education system with THAT MANY OBVIOUS ERRORS. Now you see, you're trying to make this into a big issue; at first I made light of it and now you're going into it as if it were a major issue...it's done, it's over.BTW Pink, I'm from Canada too, the same as Thatguy
-
be nice now hawker. please. this site isnt for making of other people. its for helping people.
-
Yeah Hawker, its not nice to make fun of people, ya big fatty fat face!
-
lol!! bob! o dear. i forgot about that post. o well .LOL
-
I've taken worse (Actually, to be fair, I have a very prominent beer gut, the face has random zits, and stubble 24/7 regardless of when I shaved)
-
Ok then, I'll throw in a "poopy head!" just to make you cry!
-
Keep going (I've been insulted by the worst offenders)...you'll have to try harder.
