I'm not a parent or child but since this is the Parents' Discussion board I thought you all would appreciate this, and just in time for back-to-school! Just too funny. One I know posted this on her facebook page - actual message for an elementary school in Australia.

Still laughing over this one 8O

Great I love it, I wish that someone would do a university sector version of this school automated switchboard.

I once saw a list of suggestions for answer phone messages. Good ones included

"Archbishop of Canterbury's residence"
"Line four you are on air now !"

best of all was

"The number you have dialed is purely imaginary, please rotate by 90 degrees and redial"

^ heh heh....funny. Sort-of off topic, but at (previous) privately owned University, there was an associate professor (of science) who's 1st name just happened to be Dean. He actually posted a clever sign on his office door that read "The Dean's Office." :D

Would a real school really be that snippy to the parents? It is a great joke, however. And the way schools often feel ;)
