“Unbelievable: 66 Outrageous Student Excuses That Sound Too Wild to Be True!”
The kid has had a very hard life, but I already know they will be someone amazing as an adult!
I was a student teacher and they placed me at one of those special schools for students that have learning disabilities, troubled homes, etc. I had one student who’s dad was driving her to school and another teacher cut him off in the parking lot. He gets out of the car and goes ballistic on that teacher and then pulls out a knife to threaten them.
Poor student had to watch the cops arrest her dad in the school parking lot and then still attend class that day. I left her alone to do whatever the hell she wanted to that day.
When I was in grad school, I lived in the heart of tornado alley. I was doing a timed online final for one class and had just finished a huge paper for my other class. I’m typing away, stressed, and my phone rings. It’s my mom, telling me there’s nasty weather coming. I blow her off and get back to work. Suddenly, it gets dark and I hear tornado sirens. I grab my dog, my shoes, my keys, and drive like hell to get to a friend’s house – she had a shelter. We ride out about four hours of storms and I head home. My house had quite a bit of damage and all of my electronics were completely fried…including my computer.
The next day, I finally reach my professors. Both were shocked but were able to verify what happened and gave me extensions. Still, one laughed and said he’d never heard the excuse “The tornado ate my homework!”.
