By following these simple suggestions, anyone can fail any class. Give it a try.

1. Always arrive late.

2. Never slip into your desk quietly. Instead, make a big dramatic entrance, saying (loudly), "Sorry, I'm late! I had to go to the john!" If possible, drop your books on the floor or on your desk with a big sigh.

3. Better yet, don't have your books with you.

4. Never bring a pencil to class. Always borrow one from someone else and forget to give it back. Chew on the end while you're at it.

5. Never bring paper. Let other people spend their money on stuff like that. Use their paper instead.

6. Use the paper you borrow to write a note to a buddy. Chuckle at what you've written so you can disturb others.

7. Don't bother taking notes.

8. Never, ever, do your homework. The teacher will admire you for your consistency.

9. Just dump your textbooks in your locker and leave them there. That way you'll have an excuse for not doing any reading or studying for tests.

10. During class, carve stuff into the top of your desk.

11. Draw as much attention to yourself as possible. Make funny remarks. Be loud. Start arguments.

12.Groan and complain a lot.

13. Say things like "This is BORING!" and "When are we ever gonna need this" every five minutes or so, especially if it is really quiet in the room.

14. Ask, "Is this gonna be on the test?" as often as possible.

15. After your teacher says, "Turn to page 36", say, "What page?"

16. When your group or partner is depending on you, show up unprepared. Or for a real laugh, don't show up at all.

17. If you bother to hand in any assignments, be sure to hand them in late.

18. If you can't talk to someone sitting near you, stare out the window or go to sleep.

19. When you get a test back with an "F', shout, "This isn't fair! The teacher hates me!"

20. Never show concern about your grade until a few days before parent teacher or the end of the semester. Then ask the teacher if you can do an extra credit project to make up for everything you've missed.

21. When the teacher says"No" to #19, throw a fit.

22. Stay up as late as possible. It's okay - you can catch up on your sleep in class.

23. If you have to read something in class, always choose a magazine or a comic book.

24. Always chew gum, loudly. Bubblegum works best 'cause you can blow a big bubble and then snap the gum a bunch of times.

25. If you have to do a report, just Google it and then copy and paste. It's much easier.

26. If you decide to hand in some homework, make sure you have copied it from someone else in class.

27. If you decide to do some homework for fifth period, be sure you do it during fourth period.
