As the new school year kicks off, it’s the perfect time to appreciate the unintentional comedy that kids bring to their homework. Parents and teachers have shared some of the funniest responses, proving that while our future might be in their hands, it’s sure to be an entertaining one.
Whether it’s a student confidently claiming a triangle has four sides or answering “What ended in 1896?” with “1895,” these homework fails show that kids don’t just think outside the box—they often toss the box away entirely. If this is the future, we’re in for a hilarious ride.
