“Unbelievable: 66 Outrageous Student Excuses That Sound Too Wild to Be True!”
It just so happened that that day we had an assignment due that had to be turned in with a print out before class started. If it wasn’t printed out then it was half points off, if it wasn’t in the stack right when the professor started class it was half points off. I emailed my professor and told him “there’s a shooter loose between me and campus, I might be late bc they’re closing some roads down so here’s an emailed copy of my assignment.” He tells me “I looked on Google maps and traffic seems normal I expect to see you in class on time.”
Ok I wasn’t gonna argue with my professor over email so I go to my HR lady and tell her “hey I know I normally leave an hour before class is it ok if I leave an hour and a half before so I can make it on time?” She says yes, all my little coworker friends are like I can’t believe you’re driving right through it and I’m like yeah and normally I pick up dinner before class but today I guess I’ll go without it.
With all the barricades and rerouted traffic I make it to class right on time and turn in my assignment, have a normal class but I’m a little hungry.
The NEXT TIME I go to class I sit down and my professor spots me and immediately zooms over and goes “when I got home after class my wife was watching the news and I saw the manhunt and helicopters and I’m sorry of course you wouldn’t have gotten any points off for emailing your assignment or being late”
Edit: I found the article!
Once had a student, probably around 12 year old, who had an exercise to hand in. Went something like this:
Student: I did my exercise but my sister took it and ripped it up.
