Notice how your teacher reacts when other students forget their homework to gauge how much you can get away with. Notice if your teacher collects homework or usually just walks around and glances at your worksheet to make sure you did it. Try to get an idea of what your teacher likes. If they have pictures of their cat everywhere, you may be able to use that to your advantage later by telling them your cat is very sick or had to be put down and you were too devastated to finish the assignment. Remember that your teacher probably got into teaching because they are passionate about their subject. Participate in class as much as possible: if they believe you love history, too, they’re probably more likely to be sympathetic later. Find out how much homework counts toward your final grade. If homework only accounts for 20% of your grade and you ace all your tests, projects, and class participation, you might be able to get by without doing homework and still get a decent grade.
If your teacher expects you to email them your assignment, ask them the next day if they got your email. When they say they didn’t, act confused and explain that you definitely emailed them and that you can’t believe it didn’t go through. They probably can’t check to see if you are lying and will probably give you an extension.
Claim the death of a family member. Make it someone close enough that it would affect you, but not so close that the teacher will find out about it. A great aunt or uncle works as they tend to be older. There is also no limit on the amount of great aunts and uncles you have, whereas with grandparents there is a limited number of times you can use that excuse. Plus, you don’t want to tempt karma by saying your grandma died unexpectedly. Say that you are having a private family issue and you don’t feel comfortable talking about it, but you can’t do the homework. Tell your teacher your pet died. But be aware that if your teacher happens to be having a conversation with your parents and says something like “Sorry about the dog!” they may find out you were lying.
Tell the teacher you were in the bathroom when they assigned the work and you completely missed that you had homework. However, if your teacher has a good memory or writes homework on the board or on a school website, there is a high chance this will not work.
This works best if you are somebody who rarely gets sick(maybe once or twice a year) then you will be more trustworthy if you appear sick.
If you do this too often your teacher will stop being sympathetic, so make sure it only happens once or twice.
If your teacher walks around the class checking for homework, but doesn’t take it in, write your homework page and task at the top of some random notes you have for that class. If they’re not attentive, they won’t notice. If they are attentive, try to distract them by asking a question related to the subject or show them a word in the textbook you don’t understand.
Say you must have left it on your desk/in the car/on the bus and ask if you can turn it in at the end of the day. Then you can quickly do the assignment during lunch.
Try asking one friend for answers to questions #1 and #2, then another friend for the answers to questions #3 and #4, and so on until the assignment is complete. Assemble a study group and let them work out all the answers. If you have a friend who owes you a favor, tell them this is how they can repay their debt.
Bring in a blank flash drive and swear to your teacher you saved it to the drive and you don’t know what happened.
Go into File Explorer and find the file you want to make corrupt. Right click over the file and select ‘Open With. . . ‘, then select Notepad. Once the file opens in Notepad you should see a really bizarre document with gibberish. Click anywhere within the document and type something random in it, disturbing the flow. After this just save and submit. When your teacher opens it, it will show up an error. Do not select “use application as default” when selecting Notepad after File Explorer step or else all word documents (. docx) will automatically in Notepad showing gibberish. Create a blank image in Paint and save it in . bmp format. After that, forcefully change its format into . doc (right-click and hit Properties), and change the title to the name of your homework assignment. Now, when you try to open the file in any text viewing program, it will show up as a broken file. Send it to the teacher, and if they ask you the next day, just say sorry about this inconvenience and promise to send it this evening. Now, you have an extra day to complete your homework.
So your parents check your history? Easy. If you have the Google Chrome browser, you can use Incognito mode. This will not track your history at all. Press ctrl+shift+N at the same time to open an Incognito tab. Remember to close all Incognito tabs before you go back to doing your homework. Remember ctrl + w closes a window with one tab without prompt, so it is the perfect way without downloading Firefox and certain add-ons to use the computer without parent’s knowing anything of your exploits.
