Homework for parents as kids go back to school – OregonLive.com:
"First up, in honor of educators everywhere, is a humorous audio clip making its way into people's e-mail boxes, as it has for several years. (Snopes.com, a Web site dedicated to urban legends, says the e-mail has been around since at least 2002). The clip is a fake answering machine message for a high school, that includes the following options for callers:
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
(And please ignore the answering machine message's last line, which takes a jab at people who don't speak English. Why someone felt the need to cheapen this valuable bit of satire is beyond me. Still, the sardonic clip is worth hearing.)"
