Sleepy Students Will Get Automated Wakeup Calls From School

Among the things that could have possibly made high school more annoying, getting a robo-call telling me to wake up at 6.30am would probably be high on the list! That or having the principal pour water on my face.

Habitually late students at Iowa’s Marshalltown High School will be getting this luxury courtesy call to rouse them, saying “Good morning from Marshalltown High School. It’s time to get up and enjoy the day.” The message then tells you when your first period class starts. Insert gun-to-the-side-of-my-head gesture.

And now, let the angsty protest Facebook groups begin. [Times Republican]
