A Chuckle For Teachers

I just had lunch with a couple of retired teachers, and it reminded me that I had told dellgirl that I had a similar joke [as hers] but in relation to teachers/school. So here it is:
You have reached the answering service of your school.
In order to assist you in connecting to the right staff member,
please listen to all 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 cuss out staff members...Press 4
To ask why you didn't get needed information that was already enclosed in your newsletter and several bulletins mailed to you...Press 5
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 that this is the real world and your child must be accountable/
responsible for his/her behavior, classwork, homework, and that it's not the teacher's fault for your child[ren]'s lack of effort...
Hang up and have a nice day!!

giggle, snicker, snort!!! I think I'll send a copy of this to my long suffering brother and sister-in-law who are school administrator and teacher, respectively. It's a hoot!!!
It'd probably be even funnier if it didn't have quite SO MUCH truth to it.

Oh yes, Mare. I remember this one. I'm laughing all over again at it, like I never heard it before. It is as fresh as the day someone passed it around. Thanks for the laugh!

or hang up and walk in a teacher's sensible shoes for 185 days, then I'll listen to what you have on your mind. Make it a great day!
