Ten best excuses for not
  doing your homework
    Brought to you by tutorhub.com
      the online tutoring website
1. The dog ate my
       homework
Hmm, perhaps not the most subtle or
workable of excuses, but if you really do
have a dog…

There may be more than a 0.0001% chance
that it could work?! If all else fails, you
could always bring a stool sample as proof…
2. Homework? I don’t remember
     getting any homework


You probably DO remember getting your
homework, but your teacher doesn’t know
that, right?
3. Ahh, I thought it was in my bag,
  but left it at home by accident


  Of course you left it at home by accident!
  This one is a great excuse, it’s worked a fair
  few times for me, anyway…
4. I didn’t understand the homework,
 could you explain it to me so I can
          give it a second go?

  This excuse works better more for maths or
  question based homework rather than
  essays.

  However, it’s a good way to hit two birds
  with one stone (you get help on your
  homework, and a deadline extension!),
  especially if you actually don’t understand
  the homework assignment!
5. My computer crashed and I didn’t
save my work / my printer stopped
             working


  With more and more people using computer
  based software to complete their homework,
  a whole new spectrum of excuses have been
  opened to the desperate, homework-lacking
  student.
6. I had too much homework from
   (insert subject name) class to
 complete the homework for you


 Poor you, clearly you’ve been given way too
 much homework by all your other teachers to
 do this piece! A homework overload is never a
 good thing.
7. Oh, I think I was absent when the
       homework was given out


   You were obviously ill when the homework
   was handed out in class, even though your
   teacher is looking at your ‘tick’ of
   attendance in the register!
8. I’ve been given extra-curricular
 activities and volunteering work
          outside of school


 If you’re doing any work or activities outside
 of work, hey, why not use them as an excuse
 for not doing your homework! It’s a pretty
 believable one (especially next to excuse 1.).
9. I’ve been so ill over the last few
days, I haven’t been able to do my
             homework


  Bed ridden, feverish and unable to
  distinguish your cat from your sheet of
  homework, how on earth can you be
  expected to work in this state?!
10. Tell the truth

After using all these excuses, perhaps it’s
time to pull out your triumph card – the
truth.

On the occasion, your teacher may
appreciate your use of the truth rather than
the usual bombardment of (unbelievable)
excuses. Use this one when you’re feeling
especially sincere (and desperate).
