R-VOICE: What is the best excuse you’ve given for not having your homework?

Katherine Knott interviewed students at Faith Lutheran High School.

Anna Coffin, Junior

"I said that the power went out in my house. Then, I had to do my plot cards by candlelight and then the candle accidentally burned them."

Sean Kennedy, Junior

"I said I ran out of paper in math. He didn't buy it."

Max Dunlap, Junior

"I said I brought the wrong backpack."

Luke Taylor, Freshman

"I said my sister ate it. I don't have a sister."

Erica Manning, Senior

"I said that I didn't take my backpack out of my car and then I lost my car keys."

Ethan Laing, Junior

"I said that last night, when I was trying to do my homework and the cops showed up, my sister moved all my stuff, and the cops arrested the wrong person, so last night was really hectic and I could not get my homework done."
