This isn’t new in our district. It’s been around for a few years.

I’d be a cold day you know where before I’d co-operate with that; and yet, parents do. The kids show up.

I heard a story of a computer company that laid off a bunch of people in the 1980s. One of their products was a programmable voice-response unit, for telemarketing, voice mail, etc.

One disgruntled survivor programmed it to call the home number of the president of the company every 15 minutes.

Naturally, once the calling number was tracked back to a company lab, ... the programmer found himself still disgruntled, and also unemployed.

Have you noticed how much school lingo resembles prison language:

I bet the system is an off-shoot of a system to inform residents in towns nearby a prison that some dangerous convicts just escaped, and it might be a good idea to secure the domicile, and not open the door to any strangers...

Another reason to homeschool your child. Soon, there will be no way to make up for it. A single mistake, your child is now on weekend detention. Oops! Another mistake by the government school, your child's permanent record has been ruined. Forget about College or even CLown U folks!

when for the love of God are parents going to stand up and say enough is enough!? SHUT THEM DOWN NOW!
