Homework lieswere my speciality. I once went 3 months without doing a shred of work in or out of class in History because I told the teacher (who was not too bright looking back) that my Aunt had borrowed my schoolbooks to see how I was getting on. This lasted for a month or so, then I told teach my family had had a huge fallout and my mum was tryng to negotiate the return of said books. Daft cow swallowed it, and then when things were getting really dodgy I told her my Aunt was refusing, so she arranged for me to have a couple of days off to catch up. Beauty. 3 month's work done in 2 days. Who says school's a waste of time.

Computer HomeworkI.T. lessons didn't exist until my third year at secondary school, by which time I was programming on the C64.
Our lessons consisted of stuff like 'dry running' BASIC programs (laughable even then). I therefore did the homework program in 30secs, and sold it to the illiterate blasphemers that made up my class.
The first time, we all got detention for having the same homework, and I got a beating.
After that, I'd do 4 versions of the same homework/ program, and sell those.
However I was so contemptuous of my teachers (who were all in the I.T. stone age) that I never handed in my own, thereby dropping out of the O level class and failing even my CSE.
