The School Answering Machine

Not real but probably accurate enough...

This succinctly explains why our kids are not learning, feel so bad going to school and have so many absences.

When are the "adults" who have some kind of control (not the kids who have none) going to step up to the plate, wake up to themselves and accept RESPONSIBILITY for destroying the self esteem and self belief of this generation of children??

I would wish that the entire staff at that school was now unemployed, unfortunately it probably hasn't happened.

Like I posted near at the top of the video, this is "Not real" according to snopes.

I went to grade school in Australia for about 6 months when I was a kids and this could easily be true. Teachers were allowed to insult kids (a favorite of my teacher was "thick as a brick!) and the principal could use a cane.

Also there is a general no-nonsense attitude in the British Empire.

Wish it was true, some parents need to hear it.
This is coming from someone who worked at a school and had a parents swearing at my while trying to explain that their child must have learned that $&*%ing language at school.
