Slog It Blog It, Top Tip For back To School!

Molly The Wally goes back to school


The Best excuses for not having done your homework!

The old cliché of blaming the dog for eating ones homework no longer works as an excuse nowadays. However being wrongly declared dead or frightening ghosts might just work. Or try espionage or being held at gunpoint. These are just some of the excuses that make up the litany of odd reasons students have used to explain why they have not completed their homework. John Curry a lecturer in computing at City of Bath College compiled the bizarre list of downright strange but legitimate reasons that pupils have used. Feel pity for the poor student who was mistaken for a spy and held in China. He then had the mammoth task of convincing his teacher that it had actually happened. Another unfortunate student was granted an extension after the Indian government tried to seize his home after he had been declared legally dead. Blaming the dog for eating ones work is too flimsy an excuse to cut the mustard these days. About time we dogs were let off the hook. Have you ever destroyed documents you shouldn’t have? Mine was a passport and very tasty it was too!

Don’t forget it is back to school at Blogville so pop over to Frankie to see all the classes and why not pop over to Sarge to get your backpack decorated.

  8. teeeheee.....as a teacher, I heard the best. But "MY DOG ATE MY HOMEWORK" actually was used a couple of times......I quickly told my students that that was the oldest excuse in the book.....some of them actually did tell the truth and simply said, "I had hockey practice....I went shopping.....I didn't want to do it." OK....CHECK! ZERO FOR YOU!

    I tell ya, dogs get the bad end of the stick, don't they Miz Molly!!!!!! You look like my fourth grade teacher with those glasses!!!!!!!

  9. With a lot of homework on Ipads and such it would be hard to use us for an excuse anyway. Don't think I have ever eaten an important paper.

  10. Well, I did eat my mom's slippers, hats, and gloves before and I had no excuse for doing any of it except maybe I need my mom to buy me some REAL toys! That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!

  16. I like to eat bills, it's a good snack - not too much calories...otherwise storage cards, I ate one and had 2 gigabyte inside me - unfortunately I didn't found a converting tool for calories in gigabyte since yet...

  24. Dear Molly,

    I honestly really truly did eat my littlest person's homework one day. Well, I chewed on the corner anyways. And bounced on it a few times. It made a great sound under my paws.

    But I am much older now, and much more dignified. I would never do that. Maybe.

    Licks,
    Cobi

  25. You ate a passport? That is very international of you! Bet your peeps were not happy about that one. So far we only have eaten wood things but we are young yet so the possibilities are endless!

    Your friends,

  31. yep kids can't say that dogs ate their homework because everything is done on the computer nowadays!

  32. My lady wonders if she can use, "my dog ate the wall" to get out of going to work.

    Hope you had a great day, Hailey and Zaphod

  33. I think this is a dog's owner issue! Cats love to study and do homework! My suggestion is to remove owls as a symbol of inteligence and cats assume that task...

  39. Yes, I really was given all those excuses. Of course, I was more sympathetic if they mentioned a dog in their excuse.

  40. Hi Molly,

    Yeah blame it on the dog.........heard it all before, what about the lecturer who lost it some where between his home and the class room, did he give himself detention or a 100 lines, guess not!
