Just kidding - my homework ate my dog.
Ok, enough with the puns - here you go. These are guarenteed to work on at least one teacher.
Late to class:
"There was a lot of traffic."
"My sister was sick."
"I got into a car accident."
"My stomach wasn't feeling to good."
"A teacher pulled me over for a moment."
"I had to grab some work from another class."
"I got lost."
Skipping
"I felt sick."
"I needed a break from the noise."
"I had to get something from the front office."
"My nose was bleeding."
"I needed to wash my hands."
"I had a loose tooth."
"The toilets were clogged."
Lost Work
"I dropped it in a puddle."
"My backpack is really messy."
"I never got any work."
"Somebody took it."
"I forgot it from home."
These are guaranteed to work on most teachers.
Just don't overuse them - teachers notice everything...
And your dog is probably pooping paper right about now.
"I had a massive headache, so I rested a little extra."
Teachers must comply with standard Georgia law, and one states that a teacher cannot deprive a student of anything, which means you are legally allowed to make this excuse. Plus, teachers would feel bad for you.
"There is always a lot of traffic on the way to school."
Teachers wouldn't notice this one - but that is just the tip of the iceberg. This means you can repeatedly skip, just don't skip while in the school building or the teachers might see you.
"I had to clean up a mess."
A simple but very good excuse, this often gets you out of many situations. It's so easy to use as well, because if the teacher questions you it's easy to respond.
Just play dumb.
"I plead the fifth!" Don't answer. You don't have to. Just solve for x. It works.
