TEN EXCUSES FOR NO HOMEWORK
Here are the top ten excuses given by students for not having their homework done. William T. Jackson of West New York, New Jersey is the school teacher who recorded these excuses: 1. My little sister ate it. 2. My dog (cat) did his duty on it. 3. We ran out of toilet paper. 4. Our furnace broke down and we had to burn my homework. 5. I had to use it to fill a hole in my shoe. 6. I gave it to a friend and his house burnt down. 7. My mother threw it away by mistake. 8. I got hungry and there was no food to eat. 9. I did it, I swear, but I left it next to my poor sick mother who I was helping and caring for all night. 10. Because I didn’t feel like it! (Very often the last words ever spoken by a student.)
