I did up until about year 7 then i realised that my mum would just ask if i had any and not check up on it, "Yeah mum i did my homework" was probably my most frequent lie while i lived at home. In year 11 & 12 i had a 1 hour bus ride home so i would occasionally do some of it after my friends got off the bus and i was bored. If my teachers ever asked why i hadn't done it i would tell them it was because after my hours bus ride home i had to look after the animals at home and do the rest of my chores which left me little time at the end of the day.
Out of interests sake what was the most common kind of comment written by your teachers on your report cards? I always got either
Alan does well in class but could do much better if he decided to apply himself.
or
Alan is a quiet hard worker.
