    Were you homeschooled? That’s the only way I can imagine a kid could escape homework

    Disclaimer: I’m from the EU, I don’t know if it’s more difficult in the US. But I escaped homework by simply not doing it. I got yelled at, there were a lot of talks between my parents and the school, teachers made fun of me in front of the whole class…but that just made me more angry and more unwilling to do them. :)

    Ultimately, there was nothing they could do, except giving me bad grades, but I didn’t much care about those. I’ve been a little shithead.

    What also helped was my parents not giving much of a fuck either, they trusted me to do what’s best for me.
