This is the message that the PacificPalisadesHigh
School (California)
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.
It �s the message that counts. Last year, I read it out loud on the first teacher-parents meeting. I thought it would be a nice ice breaker. It was! Most parents were amused. some of them referred to it during the meeting. I kept stressing the last sentences of this message, hoping the parents would understand and agree.
I burst into laughter Barbara..
