SPOILER ALERT....Transcript from youtube
https://www.hoax-slayer.net/maroochydore-high-school-answering-machine-message-hoax/

This is the message that the Maroochydore High School Queensland, staff voted unanimously to record on their school telephone answering machine . This is the actual answering machine message for the school. 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.
he outgoing message:

Hello! You have reached the automated answering service of your school. In order to assist you in connecting to the right staff member, please listen to all the 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 swear at staff members – Press 4

To ask why you didn't get information that was already enclosed in your newsletter and several flyers mailed to you – Press 5

If you want us to raise your child – Press 6

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

If you realize this is the real world and your child must be Accountable and responsible for his/her own behaviour, class work, homework and that it's not the teachers' fault for your child's lack of effort: Hang up and have a nice day!

If you want this in another language, move to a country that speaks it.

Perhaps that should be on all Baltimore City schools answering machines. Seem they are near the bottom in math and reading. More here: http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/education/k-12/bs-md-nations-report-card-20180409-story.html

I was at the post office today and a lady at the counter had her kids and one of her kids kicked her. The lady next to me, said "I wouldn't put up with that." She was a grade school teacher at a church here in town. Glad to hear some schools understand discipline.

This is also the answering machine message of Pacific Palisades High School in California.
The Australian version came out in 2009.
Pacific Palisades came out in 2002.
Both are just urban legends but what the heck.
