A year 7 appears at my door. I look at him blankly.
"You sent for me" ah, brain kicks in...
"Yes, on Friday. You're 3 days late. You didn't had in your homework by the Thursday extension I gave you."
"Oh, it's at home"
"That's great, I can mark it easily then. Here's your detention slip."
"OK"
Not the most enlightening conversation ever. Of course, a teacher should never resort to sarcasm, but really, am I going to accept 'it's at home' as an excuse when I have already given an extension? I think not.
