Here are some of the excuses given by Kiwi kids these days:
I had a big game last night!
I had to work last night!
I was at my Dad's/Mum's last night so did not have my books with me!
I had an accident and all my books got wet/really disgusting!
Oh! I forgot! I did it honestly! I left it on my desk and forgot to put it in my bag!
And finally, the straight forward and honest but lazy answer(!!)
I couldn't do any of it!
I am sure some other teachers have more creative answers, too!
