Below is the link to listen to the voicemail message that the Maroochydore High School in Queensland, Australia staff voted unanimously to record on their school telephone answering machine. 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. Listen and I promise you’ll burst out laughing!

I just have to say that is one truly exponential message with a whole bag of antimemeticisomorphism thrown in! Love the post Marc!
