Ever wandered into school, then engage into a panic attack when you realise that you've forgotten your homework? Well, here's a list of explanations to give to your teacher, so stay calm.

The Top Ten

1 My Dog Ate It

Why on earth is everybody so obsessed with this excuse?! - BlackAngel_ZombieBoy

Naaa, hard to believe.

I will always tell teacher that and soon they found out it was a lie - flora36

Teachers didn't even believe this when my parents were at school. - Entranced98

2 It Offended Me

It was sexist, rasist, evil, and just plain wrong.

Concham easy words rayara

3 You Asked Me to Do It, You Didn't Tell Me to Do It, So I Thought It Was Optional

Good one

*stolen*

When I did this I every one birst out larfing

I like this one it is good and I think this might work sometimes...

It's a bit of a smartass statement, but, it will probably do - EpicHorrorMaster

4 I Ran Out of Toilet Paper

Best thing ever I'm going to tell my teacher when I forget it

Haha laugh out loud

5 Some Bullies Stole It

That's a reasonable one. - SamuiNeko

That's a good one to use

6 I Left It at Home

This one is realistic. - BlackAngel_ZombieBoy

My school either makes me do it at break times or even on the weekends so I don't think this really works in my school

When I don't do it I leave it at home, tell them I left it, nothing happens to me, I do it later that day

I'm pretty sure we have all said this before.

The Contenders

11 I Didn't Have Time

My teacher would just say "BA_ZB, if you don't do your worrk, then I'm going to give you a detention. So you need to stop being lazy and get more organized. - BlackAngel_ZombieBoy

Sorry I was too busy getting lost in my closet and searching for Narnia.

Pretty good excuse.

12 I Had An Accident, So I Was Rushed to the Hospital

I've used this quiet a times

13 The Dog Had Puppies On It

14 Didn't You Feel the Earthquake?

15 I Spent the Afternoon Playing With My Cat

16 I Put It In a Shredder

Certainly would NEVER work. - BlackAngel_ZombieBoy

The teacher will shred you

That one's not so good. Your teacher's just going to say that you need to be more responsible.

But if you say you put it in the shredder your teacher will get mad and probably give you a new sheet or whatever your homework was if you keep saying you shredded it you will get ditention or something so think of better things "don't try this at home kids"💋💋💋💋💋💋💄💄💄💄💄

17 You Assigned Homework?

I can see this working, I can see this failing. - BlackAngel_ZombieBoy

This one is a 50/50 chance of passing. - Stalin

Haha! I said this...she said " you didn't know? "...and that's it! - Ananya

I did this before! But I really thought this because I didn't get homework. And I was at school! - funnyuser
