30 Times Teachers Were Brilliantly Outwitted By Their Cheeky Students

Teachers and students have been trading wits for as long as classrooms have existed, and these stories prove that a little creativity can go a long way. From late papers and fake excuses to clever digital tricks, the students in this roundup found surprising ways to dodge deadlines, and sometimes even got away with it.

Mike Chase kicked off the conversation with a funny story about being two weeks late on a paper, and people quickly jumped in with their own memories of outsmarting teachers. Some of the replies are harmlessly funny, others are a little devious, and a few show that teachers are often sharper than students expect.
