Anyone know any good homework excuses?

No. Or the classic "I had just finished it when my little brother picked it up and decided it would be great fun to throw it out of the window into the garden, where the dog peed on it. The cat then found it and ripped it into 8 pieces (to add believability). I managed to retrieve the pieces and sellotape it together. It flew out of my hand on the way to the bus and fell into the lake, but I swam in, getting hit by a swan (at which point you show a fake bruise on your arm made with pencil crayons, it's great fun you should try it some time), and got it back. When I got on the bus, the big bullies in year 7 nicked it and dared someone among them to eat it. They did, and so if you still want it you will have to go to the san/sick bay/ matron to retrieve it from the year 7's vomit."
Good enough?

Very good but I have no pets.I can always say it was my neighbour's animal though. I will try it with History tomorrow.

P.S. The little brother bit is apt because my brother is 6 and mad on Pokemon ( ).

I know, I read your space. Sorry about the crap excuse, but I normally tell the truth (I forgot) and the teachers are usually nice enough and say well bring it in tomorrow, so I do. Cos I'm a good girl, I am. Do you do Duke of Edinburgh? I did my Bronze, but although I like he expedition and stuff, I think the way everything has to be perfectly organised is a load of b*ll*cks basically. So I'm not doing Silver.

See U142065 - she's doing Bronze Duke of Ediburgh this year.
On the subject, she is also starting a collection of orignal homework excuses. Including -

"I don't have my biology homework because my dad's a biology teacher, so he probably picked it up on his way to work, so if you want it you'll have to leave the class and drive to his school and pick it up, or wait until I've told him and make sure he hasn't lost it!"

or

"Well, I wanted to hand in my English essay, but when I typed it all out on the computer, I didn't realise the printer was broken. I saved it onto disk but none of the school computers will accept it. Well, I'd fix the printer, but the person with the printer software's in Benbequla for the next six months so I'll have to wait until then."

They worked.

~~A~~

I've tried a variation on the latter excuse, as have many people, and it is always with English homework (we call it prep), never any other subject.

Why's it called prep?

~~A~~

a good one is to look sad and moping when u walk into the class like your on the verge of tears and then when they ask for your homework start shouting and screaming things like 'how dare you ask me for my homework at a time like this!' and then storm out of the class.

It's called prep because I go to a supposedly posh pretentious girl's school and it's supposed to be short for "preparation" as in for the next lesson, but it's basically just homework. And mighty crappy it is too.

Oh you poor thing! I go to a mixed school.

~~A~~

I haven't been to a mixed school since year 7 but to be honest I think I'm better off at a girl's school. The boys'd just make me feel like crap as I used not to be able to stand up for myself

I think it'd just be boring at our school without the boys! A lot of my friends are boys (no boyfriends, though).

~~A~~

That's a down side to going to a girl's school, you don't get out to meet boys much. Also I row in a lot of my spare time so I don't see many boys then either. it's the school rowing club so it's only girls.

Cool! My friend (U142065) wants to learn how to row, as well as scuba-dive, paraglide, bungee-jump and other suicidal sports. Rowing is probably the safest...

~~A~~

The other sports sound a lot more fun. I really don't know why I row. I spose it's the feeling of winning (although I've never won a competition, only a few races). I only started cos my brother rowed with the boys school equivalent to us. Also, (not being modest or anything), our club is among the top rowing schools in the country and a ot of people in the club have rowed for Great Britain. How cool is that! No chance for me though. Never mind. Bye!!

i love rowing.........rowing is my life...........not fair season is over.............back to goddam training.............no more races. humph.

You row? Where? I'm going to a regatta this weekend. Or is it two regattas? Penarth and Mumbles, anyway. On the sea. Scary. Never rowed on sea before. Tell me stuff.

Good luck then

~~A~~

ta.

rowing on sea? hmmmmmmm what can i say. well more knackering than rowing on a river for starters. feathering is a bloody good idea except don't get caught under a wave coz it's pretty damn embarassing.
really fun though especially if u can get the boat on a wave coming back- that's all the work done for u then. heh. i row in st.dogmaels rowing club. in the west wales league. used to be the only under 16's in the league but then bloody gwbert girls joined. DAMN. no more easy races for us then. still top though!! yay. ne way good luck on the sea!!!
