However, if this kind of thing happens regularly, or if you’re often really struggling to get homework done, it might be worth talking to someone at school. It might be that, despite doing this, you still get some kind of negative mark this time. This is another reason to develop a schedule for getting homework done in good time. Where possible, ask for help well before the homework is due, rather than on the day you have to hand it in. If this isn’t possible, try and tell them before, or at the start of, the lesson where you should be handing it in. If you can see early on that you might have an issue with completing homework before the due date, try telling your teacher as soon as you realise. And take a look at loads more helpful hints and homework tips on BBC Bitesize Support. Inel: And be honest, maybe your dog actually did eat your homework. Lenny: And if you are unwell, just let you teach you know that you haven't been well enough to complete the homework. So, to recap, let a teacher know if you can't get the homework done as early as possible.

Louise: Absolutely, yeah, and also it's worth remembering that sometimes there's gonna be one off occasions when you just can't get your homework done, you know, if you feel unwell or something, and I think the most important thing in that case is just to let your teacher know, and let them know as early as possible. Inel: Oh, as long as you don't make a habit of not completing your homework, they'll understand, and if it is a regular occurrence, and you are struggling to do your homework, then the best thing to do is to let someone know at the school so they can help you and put a plan of action in place to support you. Lenny: And yeah, you might get a negative mark, but if it's a one off you can always bring yourself back next time. Sometimes we can put loads of things in place to get homework done and it just doesn't go to plan, but don't panic, let a teacher know. Louise: Yeah, and I think if you are struggling, you can tell a teacher, but really try and make it so its a few days before the homework's actually due, not like on the day that's handed in, but to be honest with you it happens. So, first things first, always give it go, even if you're not quite sure, just try not to leave anything blank just so that you can show your effort. We've asked some experts what to do if this happens to you. Inel: Oh Emmanuel, you know that dread? When you're coming in, and like, oh didn't quite get it done.
