no excuse for being absent? then you should have been in class that day.

the message is meant as a tongue-in-cheek response
(take your tongue and place it on/near/in the immediate proximity of your cheek)to the PARENTS
of those kids who are wasting the school district's time by suing on behalf of their lazy children.

The fruit doesn't fall far from the tree....and those are the 'apples' being sent to teachers all across the nation, the rotten to the core kids who
have no parental guidance what-so-ever.....

If your child is a stellar student, with perfect attendance--press 01 or pat yourself on the back for being part of the solution.

If your child is a precocious kid with no sense of humor--press 02 or pray that your kid finds one.
