My students are generally pretty un-inventive when it comes to excuses for not doing homework. Popular excuses include:
- “I was doing business studies / geography / history coursework”
- “I had football practice”
- “I couldn’t be bothered”
- “I forgot”
- “You mean, I was given homework?”
I have heard a few good ones though
- I was driving down the motorway in my dad’s open top convertible and the air draft just blew it away
- It got washed away in the Tsunami.(2004)
According to the Independent the top reasons for not doing homework are increasingly tech related
The top five most popular tech-related reasons for not doing homework are:
- My computer crashed and I lost it;
- I finished my homework but then I deleted it by accident;
- I could not print it out;
- My internet was down so I could not do any research;
- I lost my laptop.
Teachers revealed other tech-related excuses including:
:: My dad’s computer was hacked by the Russians and they stole my homework;
:: A burglar stole my printed-out homework along with the computer;
:: The PC exploded when our dog went to the toilet on it;
:: I accidentally tipped a bottle of cider over the computer and it broke.
