“Unbelievable: 66 Outrageous Student Excuses That Sound Too Wild to Be True!”
Obligatory not a teacher but I have a good one. I once emailed a professor that I needed an extension on a midterm because my house burned down.

My son didn’t go to school for the death of my brother, who in the town was honored and remembered as a hero.
“Sorry I’m late, I was stuck in the WC because the handle broke”.
Was a student, but I remember there was a girl in my JROTC program in HS. On uniform day she only came with her pants and shoes and the Major was absolutely pissed because that’s like not even half her uniform.
Turns out she had been shot in the shoulder, her wound wasn’t too bad but she had a hole in her jacket and shirt and there was blood. Major couldn’t believe his own eyes but she was given a new shirt and jacket and her marks that day were excused.
Evidently she lived in a not-great part of our city that already has gun violence issues.
Not a teacher, but one time a student showed up with very red eyes. Everyone thought he was high on weed, but he had allergies. The teacher informed us he gets allergies around certain time of the year.
Edit:typo.
I’m a 6th grade FACS teacher teaching distance learning. I had a student and parent email me that their dog ate their sewing project (it was a stuffed felt monster). Never would I have thought I’d get a “my dog ate my homework” excuse but it happened!
Their whole family back home had Covid. 🙁 Like, all of them.
My girlfriend’s sister asked to have her final moved so she could be there at girlfriend’s graduation. They’re twins and went to schools at opposite ends of the country.
To this day neither of them can believe “Can I take my final on a different day? I’m going to California to be there for my twin sister’s graduation” actually worked.
