I �ll share an incident I had with a parent last week. Well, this student of mine, was absolutely lazying around, didn �t do homework, didn �t hand in projects,didn �t study for the test, and although he HAD a good level of English, I refused to just give him a passing grade just because I KNEW he knew English. He had to work just as everyone else. Well, to make a long story short, he was in my group, which are the advanced students, so I decided to put him with the beginners, hoping that this would shake him up, AND his parents also. I had the school call and request they come so we could talk about the situation. This was in December of last year. And..... June 15th, I was still waiting!!! they simply didn �t show up. Everytime the secretary called to ask why, they �d simply make up any excuse and promise to go the next day.(never happened)... then I heard that if any teacher called them, they never showed, but if the assistant prinicipal requested them, they �d show. So...I asked the A.P. to make the call himself and ask them to come. It worked!   They showed, but when they got to the school, and found out that the meeting was with ME... boy, I never saw a lady so angry before! She was just huffing and puffing... "how dare I lie to her!" So, I said, I �m sorry to have lied, but it was the only way to make you come, isn �t it sad? that you don �t care about your son enough to come and see what �s the problem with him??? She said, well, I wasn �t able to come because things came up unexpectedly and I couldn �t. I said, yes, of course, things have just come up one after another for FIVE MONTHS in a row!!! But, well, NOW I understand your son �s behavior, when he always tells me his parents "are TOO busy and can �t" come." I can see he �s right, his parents don �t have time for their own son....

 

Anyway... what I wanted to share was that I agree with RedBull,about parents making up soooooooooooo many excuses for their children, and then they have the nerve to put the blame on the teachers,... so, yes, this phone recording would be sooooo convenient in my school!    hoax or not, I WISH IT WERE POSSIBLE !!!

@ Manonski one day you will get my sence of humour!!!.

That message has been circulating the globe for at least ten years now and, if anything, has put the lovely seaside paradise of maroochydore on the tourist map.

Yes I did state in my thread by saying........This is a very true answering machine service from a school in Australia.......If only all schools had this system!!!

This part of my thread was the "joke" and the link to go with it, so to see your post saying Funny for sure but not true.

Just kind of taken away the fun of it don �t you think as some teachers on this forum would have looked at this link and maybe just for a second thought it was true.

You Manonski had just stated the obvious and gave a link aswell saying look at this see people it �s not true look here.
but if only it was, it would be great to have all schools to have this answering machine system don �t you think Manonski.

But I will take back some of my words and say you did say Funny for sure!
