In high school, we had to go home, imagine we "lived the entire day backwards", and write an essay about it. I handed in a blank paper and got full credit.
That's not ballsy. That's smart
Why not both?

For all of those who don’t get it, it’s because he’d done the essay backwards. Started with it done, and ended with it empty
I completely plagiarized an article from a website and switched every word into synonyms for an essay worth 20% of our grade.
The professor the next day said that 8 people were caught plagiarizing and were about to fail his class. Luckily, I wasn’t one of them.
nice :)
He is talking the tongue of deities
This is plagiarism and it seems you fooled most people.
@No Name does it making it synonyms actually work to get a below 20%?
i had a professor who caught my paper that was plagiarized and he made me redo the essay instead of failing me/reporting me. he was a pretty laid back professor so he probably didn't wanna deal with all that trouble of reporting me.
we were given a creative writing exercise. “Make a travel guide for yourself if you got stuck in a movie of your choice. 500 words minimum”
my exact essay:
The first rule of fight club is you don’t talk about fight club.
got an A+
This is... well, I shouldn’t talk about it.
in all seriousness i would love to do this about like the maze runner or some dystopian action movie like that
I literally know nothing about the teacher that asked "is this a mutiny" but I already love her
I bet she also said, "No pomegranates in my class!"
I know I would love her!
I usually try much harder but one time I just didn't have the energy and I turned in a house made of Leggos for my final project in art class.
Clever
How does it go?
did you... fail?
How did u do?
Interesting. In elementary school, I turned in a Lego house for a project because I knew I could do better with those than with clay, popsicle sticks, or cardboard and I wanted the project to actually look good. Can't even remember the grade I got on it, but the teacher seemed pretty intrigued. Mine was the only Lego project, so it made mine unique.
I had a very important art exam, had to draw about "mountains". I accidentally dropped black ink on the only sheet of paper we had to do it, so I improvised a some tentacles- like a hermaeus mora thing from "the elder scrolls"- and what you could say was a person. Then on the part where we had to explain what we did and why (where you are supposed to write like 5 sentences about color,shape etc) I wrote 3 paragraphs explaining that it represented the fight to move on against the mountain that is our life, that the monster was "fear" and that the man had to go to the top or some shit like that.
Most of the other students were looking at me as if I was crazy and even the teacher asked if I "had fun doing the exam". I got an 8/10, where most people got a 6.
What kinda exam do you take where it’s only worth 10 points
I mean GCSE’s only go up to 9...
Honestly, I believe that question had some bearing on your final grade. It was an *art* exam after all, right? Art is subjective. If the artist doesn't gain anything subjectively positive from the art they make, what reason does the artist have to continue?
My art teacher walked up to the front of the class room the day and said school policy i habe to give you a written exam so heres 14 easy bs questions so i have something to turn intk the office.

For a middle school history class we had to interview partners as if they were historical figures, and my partner chose Adolf Hitler. So naturally, as an (undiagnosed) Aspy with a dark sense of humor, I interviewed “Adolf” as a cheesy late night talk show host. We had trouble research for this part of the project because of content blockers on school and my own personal computer (my mom was a toxic control freak and I hadn’t yet figured out how to get around the blocker), so I took out the frustration making the interview as tonally inappropriate as possible. In my defense, the interview was supposed to take place in 1939, before things got really bad, and I was aware how racist western culture in general was bad them. So I opened the interview as if I had been telling “Adolf” a joke on the commercial break, and the punchline was “the Jews can stay, put the Pollok in the sombrero has got to go!”. Then I introduced “Adolf” as a “rising star in both European and world politics”. I wish I still had the script I wrote; the teacher found it hilarious, even though she was Jewish (I swear to Cthulhu I didn’t know), and the looks on my classmates’ faces for the whole interview were priceless.
Larry Phischman must’ve been fun
I did something somewhat similar with the whole talk show thing but it was with the KKK and I dressed up as a Klan member. Everyone found it hilarious, even the black kids in my class. The only one not amused was my teacher, but I still got a good grade.
Larry Phischman aspy ?

Oh, wunderbar!
On a group project we had to do a peer review of the people in our group, I simply wrote "my mother told me if I can't say anything nice about someone, not to say anything at all"
Nice.
@KitsFTW PW & SF Trust me, I said everything I needed to with that line. Teacher was in the know as well for what was going on and...honestly I did not have the emotional reserves to enumerate the groups shortcomings and do the project on my own.
Kits There’s a difference between giving constructive criticism and being an asshat.
I had a group project once. My two partners were annoying besties who just wanted to gossip and drink Starbucks. I did all the work. When it came time to present, I presented about 1/3 of the project and looked at my partners expectantly. They were shocked that they had to present. They had no idea what to say! The looks on their faces were priceless. The teacher ended up giving them a 0 because she saw that they weren't helping. I got full credit.
Literally my group. One guy didn’t show up to meetings & didn’t contribute so when we presented there was blank slides in the PowerPoint & we looked at him & he got mad 😂
Same happened to me. History project, not only did I do all the research, but when it came to writing what we had to say on paper so we can practice and memorize, I asked them to write what they had to say. Well, ironically I wrote all. I reported them to the teacher several times, her only telling them to work and walking away. They still got credit after I told the teacher they did nothing. Zero, None, Nada.
Good on the teacher for giving them what they deserved, glad you got full credit.
The last week of 8th grade o wrote an essay on how kissing your homies ain’t gay and presented it to the class as a major grade

I had a history course in college where I had to write a 5 page paper on American women in WWII, but got lazy and reused my paper from a English college course last year which was about British women in WWI, I literally just changed the words WWI to WWII and from British to American and also the dates, and got a 96%.
I'm British and I would literally just change the lyrics from the horrible histories 'WWII girls' song into sentences lol, it's a classic
In grade 11 I got stuck taking Chemistry. I suck at math; I have dyscalculia. So when I didn't have to take physics or chemistry anymore, I didn't want to... But my choices for electives were all full and/or had scheduling conflicts, so they had me go down to the office for that shit and pick between the only 3 available classes: physics, chemistry, and another time slot for a course I was already in.
Well can't do one at all, and physics is more math than chemistry... So I guess I'm doing chemistry.
So the whole semester I'm getting by by the skin of my teeth, working my ass off and getting nowhere, because my brain just... Fucking can't. This was also during a period of my life where I was experiencing a lot of personal stuff, so I actually wasn't able to commit a ton.... But anyway.
So the final exam rolls around. And it's all.... These fucking equations. And I'm just there like. I can't understand any of this. It's all like a fucking foreign language I can't read. So I go through and answer what little I can.... Then just kinda. Write in the rest of the spots about what's going on. How I didn't choose to take the class, about my lifelong struggles with math - even mentioning how it makes no sense bc my mom's an accountant and my dad's an aerospace engineer, I mean my older brother is a math GENIUS, he took physics and calculus and everything! But for me no matter how hard I try I just... Can't learn it beyond a basic level - and even that took a lot of work.
Like I really pour my heart out about what is actually a fucking learning disability, but this was back in the early 2000s; they didn't know about that back then.
Anyway I was certain I had failed the class, going into the exam I had a 43% or something like that. Yet when I get my report card... I got a 50 for the class. Just high enough to pass. Like the lowest possible grade that'll pass ya (here in Canada at least), but yea.
Thank you Grade 11 Chemistry teacher for having my learning disabled back ❤️

2:44 I always forget to change working titles. The last essay of my sophomore year was titled "My opinions on President Trump and the Furry Fandom." I actually turned it in with that title, and didn't notice until I got my grade for it.
Grade? What kind of stuff was he into? Goldfish and orange poison dart frogs?
what the hell were you writing?
@@painfulguess9429 Something completely unrelated to Donald Trump and the furry fandom, sadly. I just gave it that title to amuse myself and forgot to change it before I turned it in. I don't remember what it was really about, honestly.
Mygmy Parmoset same dude. I did a presentation on Mesopotamia and the first slide was some sort of statue head that looked kinda weird so I put “Homeless man
A slide by:(Me)” (I have no clue why I did what I did, I was bored when I did it)
And I forgot to change it, so when the time came to present, Me and my partner started off with a statue head from Mesopotamia and the words homeless man. We still got an A for some reason.
I remember submitting something with the name "How to lose your virginity 101.1: choices of bra design for every bust, from the smallest binary blips to those with a size exceeding the bit limit (like mine)" in one of my compsci classes. It had nothing to do with any part of that, besides the binary blip and bit limit portions being tangentially related. I forgot what the assignment actually was, all that stuck with me was the working title I wrote while drunk and forgot to change before handing it in.
In my 9th grade art class, we had to do an end of the year project which we were given 2 months to work on. I did absolutely no work in class, and the project was due at the end of the week. A couple days before the project was due, I was out for a walk during lunch and found a children’s wagon in an alley without the front right wheel. Without hesitation I hauled it over to school and stashed it inside a cool french teacher’s class. Walked into art the next day towing a beat up wagon. Told my teacher that it was my project and i’m handing it in right now. Art teacher was pretty chill and gave me a 96% as she said in her 17 years of teaching she’s never seen anything remotely close to my wagon in terms of creativity. God bless you, Mrs. G

I once had to do an assignment about the ending of a book. This was already extra work because I hadn't done my homework 😅
Well I wasn't going to change my work attitude so I didn't read the book and just stated on a whole page how important the ending was for the book and that you couldn't understand the plot without reading it.... Got an A+ for it 😂
I do the same stuff. They ask, what was the most important chapter in this book? So I go- i dunno, the first? It sets up the rest of the story and often carries key clues to the rest of the story as well.

For my nursing assistant class we had to do a 10 minute presentation on a disease, how it is contracted, how it is treated and what precautions a caregiver should take when caring for the patient. We would be graded on how informative it was. We drew slips out of a hat and I drew a slip for tuberculosis. I found a very informative video on you tube that was about 10 minutes long and covered all of the aspects that I needed. There was a TV in the classroom that was used to play educational videos, so I made a copy of the video on a disc (this was quite a few years back) and brought it into class. I started my presentation by stating that I could simply speak about what I had learned but the graphics on the video that I got my info from would make the information much clearer. I then played the video and got a 100%.
You didn’t get in trouble for plagiarism?
@@KnakuanaRka Plagiarism is when you use someone else's work and claim it is your own. I never claimed I made the video myself. I simply shared someone else's video with the class. This wasn't an academic class, but a training class for nursing assistants. The purpose of the exercise was to educate the entire class on various diseases with each student doing the research on one disease and then sharing it with the class. Playing the video fulfilled the goal of the exercise perfectly.
If I ever become a teacher, I'd be exactly like that one English one
"Is this a mutiny!?"
"yes"

For my English final in college, my professor allowed us to do a project in groups and make a video if we wanted to (the original intent of the assignment was to do a speech individually about something pertaining to the semester). My partner and I (whom I’ve known since high school) did a parody video about the anti-values of college students. It involved weed, alcohol, cocaine, and a chastity belt (literally a belt with the word chastity on it). None of it was my idea; I was mainly there to make sure that my partner and other actors in the video weren’t actually using drugs since we were freshmen after all.
That video is the worst and best video I’ve ever made in my entire life. We had to show it to the class and they lost it. My professor ultimately gave us a 94 and a warning to not make the video public (it’s currently unlisted) because we could get in trouble.

In 12th grade English, two friends and I were grouped up for a project. The topic was to write a plan to stop bullying.
We wrote a dystopian plan of kids being separated from their families and raised in an Orwellian boarding school where any kind of individuality would be harshly punished and used as an example of why uniqueness is bad for the group. We got an A and a "well that's scary" comment from the teacher.

One time we had to have a ton of quotes for an essay. We weren’t planning on using all of them in our essays, but we still had to have like seventy. It was so dumb and I couldn’t find any reliable sources after using all of them already. So I completely made up a book to be a source. I used a fake name and just wrote whatever I wanted for the quote. The teacher thought the quote was so good that I should use it in my essay because it “perfectly coincided with the points I was making”. I actually used my fake book several time because it was easy to make an official quote and it always worked with whatever you were writing. This wouldn’t work for an actual essay in the real world, but for a highschool essay that nobody is checking the sources for, it was pretty convenient.

I had a semester project worth 60% of my grade in high school physics. There were no guidelines for how we needed to accomplish it other than we needed to do a presentation for it and it had to cover some law of physics. I, in a flash of genius I don't think I'd ever experienced before or since, knew instantly what I would do: Looney Tunes. I went out bought a 30 minute compilation video of the Looney Tunes and proceeded to detail every single law of physics that they broke during it. $20 was worth the easiest A I've ever had.

I loathe those essay questions like, “what did you learn this semester?” I had a young govt/Econ teacher senior year, brand new to teaching and far more concerned with his popularity among the students, who were only a few years younger than him, than actually teaching us anything.
I think he lectured maybe three times. The rest of the year was spent eating food and talking loudly, or watching movies. So when I got that essay topic, I was livid- and I wrote a whole essay on what I learned that year- “How NOT to Teach”
Looking back, it was admittedly pretty mean. I regret some of the things I wrote, but I definitely do not regret writing the essay in the first place. That class was a shitshow and it grated on me daily. The only class that ever made me consider ditching. Even my angry hate-fueled essay was only half-assed, I just didn’t care enough to give it my all.
Apparently he took it in good humor. My younger brother had him after me, and my essay is on his classroom wall.

I was taking a class in college (recommended to me by a friend who took it previously) about The Beatles, thinking it was an easy A. It wasn't. required much more critical thinking than I thought it would, and I would get Ds and Fs on the tests/quizzes. Towards the end of the class a group of girls asked me if I wanted to pitch in to get a cake and a card for the teacher (the teacher was super chill) so I said sure. My grade at the time was probably a D or F, so on the last day of class, another classmate and I, who was in the same boat as me, presented the teacher with the Beatles-themed cake and a card with signatures of everyone who contributed to the cake fund. I got an A. The friend who recommended the class and put quite a bit of effort into it, got a B.

My school works in trimesters. At the end of each trimester, there’s a week-long period where students have to create a book talk (the exact same thing as a book report, for those who will ask). We are required to have a summary of the book, information on the characters and setting, and other stuff like the PoV and genre, along with the author’s name and title.
At the beginning of the trimester, I started reading Inkheart by Cornelia Funke. It’s an EXTREMELY long book, several hundred pages and dozens of chapters. I just now looked up the word count, and it’s 146,809 words.
Of course, the COVID-19 pandemic started homeschool/digital learning. I thought that book talks wouldn’t be on anymore, but NOPE! Before I knew it, it was the last week of the trimester, and book talks were due on Wednesday.
I had forgotten what I had read so far, so I had to reread everything. I now had 72 hours to read this gigantic book, make a presentation and script for it, rehearse to a point I wasn’t using speech fillers, and upload it to Flipgrid (video sharing website for students and educators).
I only got through about chapter 20 before I remembered that I have other classwork to finish. Thankfully, there’s a lot of betrayal in Inkheart, and a lot of major info revealed very early on, but not so early to disqualify it from being a spoiler.
So I used my 20 chapters worth of information and put it to work. I went over basic info about the characters Mo, Meggie, Dustfinger, and Capricorn, along with the other required stuff. My plot summary only went over the first few chapters (to chapter 5 out of 56). I got past it by using the excuse of the time limit (5 minute presentation at max) and the fact that there’s a lot of betrayal and I didn’t want to spoil the book for anyone interested in reading.
TL;DR: Quarantine caused me to forget about a book report, so I had to do 3 months worth of work in 3 days. I read 20/56 chapters, but only summarized the first 6 with the excuse of spoilers and the presentation’s time limit.
Wow, that's a long book. What grade did you receive?
I had to write a research paper for English once. Then, the week before exams, my biology teacher assigned us a huge project that had to be biology related. (And of course he barely taught us anything that year) lucky me, I had written my research paper on invasive plant species in my home state. So I talked with a friend and that night we made the most over the top, decorated with plastic plants and glitter glue, poster board. (Plus some avengers stickers hidden throughout) I got my paper back from the English teacher, whited out the grade at the top, and put it in the page protectors we had glued on to the poster board. I can’t remember our exact grade but it was good.

I spent my lunch breaks and study halls that entire year writing this enormous trashy novel (a bit past 60,000 words) and for the last project of the year I plugged the vocabulary words into it and wasted basically a whole pack of printer paper printing it. The look on my teacher’s face was priceless. I have mad respect for that lady, too; she actually did read the entire thing and grade it.
My first year of college english our final was to write a 6 page argumentative essay, and while everyone wrote about serious topics ie. politics, gun control, abortion ect. I decided to write about Spongebob and after the grades came out I got a 92 on it and she said it was the most creative essay she had read in a while. Also most people in that class got low 80's on the final, so thats one of my few accomplishments.
Oh man, I have a good one. My freshman year in undergrad, I had a modern art class that was all about experimental art. The professor was a really nice older woman who seemed a little bit like a hip grandma that went to Woodstock. My degree was in Fine Arts but my strengths specifically lie in rendering realistic detailed paintings and drawing, so this class was uncharted territory for me. I also, unfortunately at this time, was an immature 18 year old jock who procrastinated everything I did.
In this class, we had been given a major assignment a few weeks before we were to go on spring break. The project was very vague, but it was basically meant to be a long research project about the concept of time. Naturally, as a freshman I went on spring break and completely forgot about my responsibilities. When I woke up the Monday after break, I went to my 2 hour varsity swim practice at 6am, got back to my dorm and realized I had a 3 week project due in an hour that I hadn't started. Holy shit. I'm gonna flunk out.
Panicking, I looked around my room and saw empty water bottles in the trashcan and my hot glue gun on the desk. Thinking quickly, I glued the two caps together, poked a hole in the center, filled one bottle half way up with red cool-aid, twisted the tops back on the bottles, and made the worlds saddest looking plastic bottle hourglass. For finishing touches, I drew native american symbols all over them in sharpie.
I presented this literal piece of dripping garbage as a major art project to my professor, and while in front of the whole class, I BS'ed the inspiration for the piece talking about Einstein's theory of relativity and something catchy I heard Neil deGrasse Tyson say on TV. My professor loved it. To the shock of my classmates (and me), every word I said got her more and more engrossed in this travesty of a timepiece piece of trash. By the end of my explanation, I knew, as did everyone else in the class who all had just spent weeks slaving over their sculptures, that I got an A... in a college level course... By gluing two water bottles together... an hour before class.
This was the only course I ever pulled off this level of procrastinatory wizardry in and got an A. I genuinely felt bad about this though and for the most part took every other project in the future seriously, but I do have to say I did question the validity of my degree afterwards. I aced this by doing nothing, but would get a B on paintings that I spent 30+ hours on.
Wow only one other person has commented “mouse boy”

Mouse boy needs friends.
You all are buffoons. That is Stewart little, and now he is your friend. I sense you don't know the danger you have put yourself in. He will literally inhabit your very soul and drive you insane. You will suffer. You will feel pain like you never have felt before. You will likely die an excruciating death, all because of your foolishness.
My teacher said no phones during class so I would just bring my 3Ds everyday and she just asked is that a 2Ds and I said no so she walked away and she's the best teacher I have
One time my class had to write an essay about what we thought would happen next in a story we read. I wrote about 2 pages while my friend literally wrote
“They all died”
First year of uni a subject was Food & Culture. We had to write a research piece on Food Taboos. class of around 20, most wrote about certain foods and why they're taboos in the relevant religions. I wrote about cannibalism, including the point that cannibalism itself wasn't a crime which is where much of the taboo comes from but the acts around it were (grave robbing, murder, desecration of a corpse etc). Got a Distinction for it (B+/A) and the lecturer added the note "while this is well researched and presented please never submit anything as disturbing as this again". I lost most of the points due to the finnicky citation rules
Hated my English teacher so when she made us do a multi page essay I turned it in entirely in Arabic, then Japanese kanji
1:20 I’d like to see a report on resident evil, it would be hella interesting.
"Dr. Swiss"
Once had a friend turn in homework in our science class in high school where she filled in every single blank with "SQUAIDS" and got an A
As for personal experiences, quite literally every single paper I've written for college has been utter horseshit, but with pretty citations littered throughout.
12:46 I haven't read that book in over 10 years and I still get those feels :-(
In vocational school I always used the tests for shitposting because I didn't study 99% of the time and didn't care about a thing. Also never made a deal out of it. One day one of my classmates sat next to me. He read my test for some reason and showed it to everyone in my class.
Also once got told that my presentation was a bit "boring". Told them to wait a second, ran and lept on the floor Black Ops style.
My classmates told me I had balls of steel for doing that.
My friend did an entire quiz on a sticky note a while ago... she said she got an A-.
We had around 5-8 speeches which were either "mandatory" or affected grade heavily in the first 2 years of university. I did only 1 and skipped the rest being 2 consecutive lectures "sick" when we were supposed to present etc. Only one teacher noticed it and told me it would affect my grade but I still got graded 3/5. On the other courses I got anything between 3 and 5 giving only that one speech (which was speech with partner so I didn't dare to let him down).
Another one was also a Capstone project where we had these early assignments that had nothing to do with anything. We had to build this lego robot vehicle that could draw things on paper how we programmed it. Other groups did serious videos presenting accurately lifting and dropping the pen to the paper etc. Our robot didn't even lift the pen but draw all the time and we edited the video with some drifting music and sounds when the robot made a turn and added explosive sounds etc. Every single teacher laughed their asses off and so did pretty much the entire auditorium. We got full points from that. 🤣🤣🤣
When i started high school, in English we were asked to write a letter to out elementary school principal about how school was going. I said that my English teacher was my favourite teacher and he gave me the highest grade in the class. We're still good friends
That's a good idea for a project.
Had to go through a final exam that consisted of five questions. The exam itself is a presentation to the class. These five questions could be asked of any topic and we got to choose our own topic. We had to answer how we think the author of these five questions would answer them. While everyone else was speculating what the author would say - and spent two weeks researching it - I found his phone number and called him. Took me about 10 minutes and the project was done. Got an A. Teacher had been using this exam for years and nobody had done that before.
I know someone that put “and they woke up and it was all a dream” at the end and f their gcse paper
7th grade, was a big emo. Had to do a presentation on whatever I wanted as long as it was 'effecting history' so I did an entire presentation on My Chemical Romance.
I got a B+ but I think it was cause everyone just wanted the emo kid to stop talking skks
I'm a freshmen and I went to a school in middle school extremely different from high school there was a lot more free speech at my last school. So on the first day of school I said u like guns and talk about guns all the time in class. A month after school starts I got suspended because the teachers thought I was a school shooter. I was so confused about what I did wrong everything I said was normal about my last school. In the end u got suspended for 2 hours and the only driving reason for why they actualy suspended me was because they could.... Also most of the kids talk about guns and politics all the time... The punishment for being caught selling drugs is 1 day in school suspension
7:32 Holy shit. That A+ was well-deserved.
No one:
Not a soul:
Narrator: Dr. Swiss
Niche genres of music are the greatest. They have helped me memorize a ”speech” and come up with ”original poetry” in high school. I said the speech was called ”title of song” by ”singer of band” - teachers were oblivious and gave me As... both of them! 😂

I failed my university Italian module but through applying for extenuating circumstances I got granted a retake that counted as first attempt. Well through the university I'd booked four weeks in a school of Italian in Rome paid for by the university and the retake was scheduled for afterwards. I spent four weeks having four hours of Italian a day and living in the city needless to say I improved massively whilst I was there. So when it came to the retake I just thought yep I've got this. The oral I did it on the same book as I did on my first attempt and reread it very quickly (short story anyway) and then spent five minutes writing it and bullshitted my way through the exam and was told by the examiner 'Wow you have improved so much' felt smug. The written exam was a lot harder but I managed and walked out the exam a good hour early. I more than doubled my mark going from a fail grade to the highest through bullshit also brought up my overall grade from 55 to 60 meaning I got a 2:1 instead of a 2:2. Still can't believe I got away with it all
the one about gerard way seems like something i'd do
In middle school I did a speech and presentation on why hats should be allowed in class, after our teacher kept getting mad at kids for having hats or hoods on. I surprisingly got an A+
We were asked to write a short story to enter into a competition and the winners would go in a book of short stories. I entered for a joke, it was terrible and I still got in
This one time in high school freshman year I had the shittiest English teacher and everyone knew she was, well otw to the library and back she made us get in a single file line... in hs and one kid asked if he could go to the restroom as it was urgent but she had said no talking and made us write an essay when we got back to class. The prompt was “Write about your best/worst day” and well I got half the class to describe that very day in their essay. Nothing big but worth it when she graded everything and saw how much we shit talked her in the story. This was 2 years ago
Nothing
My high school German teacher assigned a big project near the end of the year. We had 2 weeks to do it, but I didn’t care.
When it was time to present the project to the class, my teacher had a 90% grade next to my name because she truly believed that I had “presented” mine already to the whole classroom when I clearly did not. I guess she was under a lot of stress at the time.
So I just went with the lie. All my classmates looked at me with a face that says “holy shit I can’t believe you just did that”. No one said a word
a story i read in an old magazine came to mind:
a kid had been assigned to sing a song, but forgot completely until the time it was "due"...
he he stood up and sang:
"jigglypuff, jiggypuff, jigglyPUFF!"
cracked up the class...i forget what grade he got.
I walked into class forgetting that I had a essay due, when someone told me I walked over to the to be graded bucket to take out a paper and wrote my name on it. I got a B
On my final exam for French 1. We had to listen to a video detailing a day at school for 2 middle school students. A follow up question after watching the video was “Would you like to go to this school? Why or why not?” The part of the day where the students were eating lunch featured pie served to them by the school. So I put “Yes. I saw pie” as my answer. Full points.
Teacher: “okay, you guys need to write me a essay about fans.”
Student: “me a essay about fans”

I remember in middle school we had to do an essay with the topic being something travel related. The one known to be the class clown had did a complete series retrospective of the Gundam series timeline up to that point.
In history class, we had a female student teacher who, unlike most student teachers, was actually really cool and we would joke around with her a lot. Near the end of the year, the real teacher informed us that the student teacher would be grading the next test 100% by herself. One of the essay questions we were supposed to write a short piece of literature or poetry about our views on one of 3 things, one of which was women's rights. At this point, I had something like 105% in that class due to extra credit, so I really didn't care if I didn't get a perfect mark. So I thought I would poke a little fun at the student teacher. I wrote "Roses are red, Violets are blue, Get in the kitchen, And make me some food." I ended up getting full credit for that question. She even added the comment "Good point!".
My Senior year was memorable, plus, till this day I made the best presentation/assignment in my life as a student. In our English class, we were divided into pairs and my homie and I decided to team up. We had to pick a country, explain its culture, cuisine, currency, government and every important detail available. We went with Italy, so we started brainstorming for ideas, then we both decided to dress up as Mario and Luigi. Ouh boy, all I know is that we got a 100. I was chubby, and my friend was skinny as a lizard, therefore we fit the bill perfectly to incarnate those pixalated characters. You shoulda seen everyone’s faces, the laughter probably surpassed 180 decibels, student from other classrooms couldn’t hesistate yo just stand by the door and see such a masterpiece taking place. Great times for sure.
