Schoolchildren have always been inventive when it comes to excuses for not handing in their homework – and now they are increasingly blaming technology, a new survey revealed today.
The study revealed 70 per cent of school teachers noticed an upsurge in the number of pupils blaming technology for not doing homework, and 68 per cent of pupils are now submitting school work typed on a computer–making it far easier to blame technological faults.
The amount of work being done on PCs and laptops is also making tech-related tales more believable to teachers, with one in four admitting they were less likely to challenge them.
