The Average Student and Homework

After staring at this worksheet for all of five minutes, I’ve given up. What’s the point? I’m sure I’ll find someone else who has that class in the morning, and if not, eh, I have that class last. I can do that during another class. I don’t need to know any of that stuff until the day of the test anyway.

Before school: It’s too early to do work. I just got up an hour ago and drove here. Besides, I have the rest of the day to do it.

1^st-3^rd hour: It’s still too early to do work. I might just do my homework during lunch.

Lunch: People are so much more important than that homework. Socializing is obviously the only point of school.

4^th hour: I just got done with my lunch. Why on earth would I do homework after that?

5^th hour: Uh-oh. I completely forgot about my homework until 10 minutes before the class ends. Thank you, teacher for assigning such an insane amount of homework. One worksheet is going to be the absolute end of the world- the end of my half-way decent grade in that class.

6^th hour: (As the teacher is going around and checking homework) I didn’t have time to do my homework. Could I please have an extension on my homework? I should be able to turn in my homework late just this one time. Or… could I have some extra credit? It’s late in the semester, and I need an A. Because of all the homework I haven’t done this semester, I think I should be able to get an A.
