chronically tardy and truant students at a massachusetts high school are getting a rude awakening - a pre-recorded morning wake-up call from their school principal. the so-called "robo-calls" that began on wednesday are aimed at rousting about 500 students from bed and getting them to school on time。
"it's 6:15 and it's durfee high school calling," booms the voice of principal paul marshall of b.m.c. durfee high school in fall river. robo-calls are typically used to notify parents of weather-related school delays and cancellations。
in new york city the wake-up calls feature the voice of former professional basketball star magic johnson。
administrators hope the effort will boost attendance from 88 percent now to 95 percent。
来自校长的录音“闹钟电话”。据了解，这种“闹钟电话”于周三开始实行，旨在让500多名学生按时起床、准点上学。
其中，在“闹钟电话”里，福尔里弗的德菲高中校长保罗这么叫学生起床：“6:15了，德菲高中叫你起床。”据悉，“闹钟电话”曾被用于通知家长一些诸如天气原因导致推迟或取消课程的变动事宜。
而在纽约市，一些学校甚至邀请篮球巨星“魔术师”约翰逊等名人献声。
管理人员希望新措施能够将出勤率从现有的88%增至95%。
