• In extenuating circumstances, if you require an extension, ask me at least 24 hrs in advance
• Computer problems are no better than "the dog ate it." If you are doubtful of your luck with computers, please do your work early
• Missing a lesson does not mean you miss the homework

My dog ate itI didn’t understand
I didn't feel like doing itI forgot to take it home
I was sickI lost track of time
There was a fire at our house that burned my homeworkIt was my birthday I was watching Lost
I have a solar powered calculator and it was cloudy I'm afraid I simply had better things to do
I left it in my shirt and my mother put the shirt for washing.My little sister ate it
I made a paper plane out of it and it got hijackedI put it in a safe, but lost the combination

No excusesNo excuses
I had a very difficult choice to make: go to the beach with friends, or sit and do my homework. I chose to go to the beach, because my friends
are more important to me than your homework will ever be.I did do it all, but before I got a chance to save, my book crashed and I
lost it all.I didn't do it because I didn't want to add to my teacher’s already heavy
workload.I made a paper plane out of it and it got hijacked.
I put it in a safe, but lost the combination.A sudden wind blew it out of my hand and I never saw it again.
The lights in our house went out, and I had to burn it to get enough light to see the fuse box.
I didn't do it, because I didn't want the other kids in the class to look bad.
