20 Hilarious Assignments Kids Have Turned in to Their Teachers
Too bad students aren't graded on hilarity.
Growing up, homework was probably not your idea of a good time. But now that you're years removed from take-home questionnaires, you may be able to crack a smile or two at the process—especially if you take a gander at the jokes kids are slipping into their assignments these days.
Whether it's a lazy case of bad math, a comically dark family portrait, or a too-literal interpretation of the assignment (see above…and below), some students just really know how to tickle our funny bones. And although these kids are certainly losing marks for such snarky answers, to be entirely honest, we find their, uh, creative logical approach to be more educational than the real curriculum. Read on for a kick. And if you want even more kid-fueled laughs, check out 50 Funny Kid Photos That Will Make You Laugh Out Loud.
1 Tornado Safety
Whoever made the worksheet deserves a little of the blame for this one, because circling a tornado is definitely the most dangerous thing you could do. And if you're wondering what misinformation you picked up as a kid, discover 25 Life Lessons You Learned as a Kid That Are Wildly Outdated Today .
2 Family Portrait
The assignment was to write a sentence about a family member and draw a picture to accompany it, so this is spot on. There's just something in the mom's eyes, though…. Maybe she's just jazzed about the 80 Amazing Benefits of Wine!
3 Happy Easter
Buying a mansion and filling it with bacon is an honestly pretty reasonable plan for $100,000,000. And if you like a kid with a sense of humor, check out 50 Jokes From Children That Are Crazy Funny .
4 True Patriotism
How much time has this kid spent thinking about cooking an eagle that this is the first thing they come up with?
5 Grim Outlook
Some might correctly say this child's drawing of their future self in a coffin underground is morbid, but it is also very accurate. And if you admire this kid's holistic perspective, learn 15 Ways to Teach Your Children to Be More Mindful .
6 Alternative Biology
Drawing a plant in jail is a creative way to get around not remembering what cytoplasm is. And for more hilarity, check out 50 Puns So Bad They're Actually Funny .
7 Tough Love
If this is their response to injuries, this kid's got a bright future as a salty high school junior varsity coach.
8 Copy and Paste Job
To be fair, if this assignment were on a computer instead of a piece of paper, these keyboard shortcuts would have actually worked.
9 Going Places
This kid's not afraid to take help wherever they can get it.
10 Lofty Goals
If this kid accomplishes more than one of these goals in third grade, they have done an exceptional job.
11 Harsh Burn
In case you were wondering, here is confirmation that the "yo mama" joke is still alive and well with the kids today. To keep up, master the 50 Best "Yo Mama" Jokes Of All Time .
12 Honest Answer
What this kid lacks in remainders, they more than make up for with complete honesty.
13 Big Dreams
This kid's dreams take a heroically large leap.
14 Opinions Vary
Historically, this has not been true. But props for a creative answer!
15 Hard Questions
This is an interview between a girl and her (apparently very unamused) cat.
16 Not Entirely Wrong
You'd really have to meet Ray's cats to say for sure if they were odd or not is the only thing.
17 Technically Correct
This is indeed the past tense… if you take it way back to 1868, when Edo was renamed Tokyo.
18 Naming Conventions
It's no obtuse, acute, and right, but Sally, Bob, and Olivia are pretty good names for these angles.
19 Cantaloupe Cannibal
Hopefully this is just an assumption, and this kid isn't going around eating brains.
20 Literal Interpretation
If a picture is worth a thousand words, than this kid just wrote a brilliant essay. And if you'd like some humor from the other side of the age spectrum, check out 50 Dad Jokes So Bad They're Actually Hilarious .

18 Funny Homework Answers from Kids Who Are Going Places
These snarky students are smart alecks at heart
- Holiday Humor
When you're a student , homework is an unavoidable fact of life. Kids these days often face hours of homework assignments each week—it's no wonder that some of their answers turn out a little snarky.
Lucky for us, the funniest homework answers often end up on the Internet, courtesy of amused parents or teachers . Some of these students are being deliberately funny; others may very well be trying ( and failing ) to find the right answer. We think every single one of them deserves a place in the Smart Aleck Hall of Fame .
Extra Credit for the Snazzy Drawing
"Show your thinking?"
Challenge accepted!
"What do you need to find?"
"The answer."
Thank you, Captain Obvious. That's really helpful .
Just Following the Directions
The assignment said to write "< or >" so that's exactly what this student did. What's the problem here?
You know what they say — never trust a fart.
For those who may not know, "shart" is slang for what happens when you do trust a fart. Use your imagination.
That's Just Your Opinion
Some say Tony is disciplined and loves music. Others say Tony is probably a huge nerd. No shame in that game, Tony!
Seems Legit
Why do we know anything , Sharon? Because we're SMART!
Somebody give this kid a scholarship.
Don't Be Silly, Kid
Pssh. "Tedison" is not even a real name... but we totally wish it was.
Failing Biology and Acing Zoology
Sure, this student doesn't know the difference between an ovary and a fallopian tube, but check out that kick-butt tiger face! Points for creativity?
Find X? No problem, there it is. It was right there all along! How did you miss that, Teach?
The Metric System Is Confusing
We can partially blame the American system of measurement for this one, but this student also gets bonus points for the sheer genius of the utterly sarcastic remark.
So Wrong, Yet So Right
Again, this answer isn't even wrong. It's technically totally, 100% correct! Maybe the teacher needs to rethink those test questions.
(Nah, not really.)
"April Ham Lincoln."
Remember what the great former president April Ham Lincoln once said: "Four scones and seven beers ago."
Wait, that's not right. Or is it?
An Example of Being Too Honest
This sounds like something out of "Breaking Bad." We really, REALLY hope this is a little kid spelling error situation.
She Must Work at the School in #13
Some teachers will go above and beyond to bond with their students, but this is ridiculous. Get your act together, Mrs. Edwards!
I See How It Is at Your House...
This is an actual quote from a first grade student. How did the teacher not die laughing?!
Comedian Chris Rock once famously said, "As a father, you have only one job to do: Keep your daughter off the pole!"
Clearly, this kid's family has some work to do in that department.
Hold Up There, Buddy
From "I like to play football" to "I am a god" in just a few short sentences. That's quite a leap!
Tell the truth: this is Tom Brady 's homework from 30 years ago, isn't it?
That's Extremely Literal
The difference between six and eight IS that eight is more curly. That's not silly – it's just accurate.
Okay, so I never did that well in math class either. Sue me.
She Deserves Extra Credit
We'll end on a positive note. This student followed directions to the letter and did exactly what she was told to do:
"Write a story to go with this picture. Use capitals and punctuation."
She not only created a funny story about this really, really weird picture of a cat overseeing a pile of hot dogs, but she also used CAPITALS and lots of exclamation points. Who cares what the teacher thought — this kid deserves an A+!
