At Greater Atlanta Christian School in Gwinnett County, Georgia, several students admitted their reason for being late had to do with the Super Bowl. But one student’s reason takes the cake.
Under “reason” on the tardy list, the student wrote, “Failed to rise up."
The school posted the list on its Facebook page, saying, “This might be our favorite tardy excuse … ever.”
So for everyone who spent time trying to come up with clever excuses for being late, it turns out that honesty really is the best policy.
