“Okay class, pass up your homework for a grade.” Says the teacher as you’re scrambling to find it in your backpack. We’ve all at one time had late work. But there’s a way to not have any late work anymore.

The first thing is to get a planner or write a note to remind yourself about the homework or papers that need to be signed. Sometimes we forget about the very special signed papers, whatever it’s for, field trip, sports, clubs, schoolwork, and report cards. So make sure you pack that in a place you will see it in your backpack. Holding the paper of homework in your hand will help you remember as well. Next the homework, it’s probably why you have so much late work. You forgot about it, got a zero, and just let it go get lost in the bottomless backpack. So try doing it in a study hall and put it a folder for homework or that subject. So now you have everything ready for school.

“Do you have your missing work?” Your teacher asks you with your innocent smile on your face. But now you don’t need to have that face because you just received some great tips on how to never have missing, late work. Oh, and one more thing, make sure you do the work correctly, or you won’t get the credit. See you next week!
