Brain Teasers
School Daze
Tom has never missed a single day of school, but he hasn't turned in a single homework assignment this year, either. He's always talking in class and hasn't passed a test in years. Even so, Tom has never gotten into trouble with any school staff, even though they know full well what he's doing. Tom isn't a special student and doesn't get unique treatment. So why does Tom never get into trouble?

Great Teaser.

I thought it was class pet too.
That made me lol!
Tricked me because you said student numerous times. So I actually though he was a student.
Thanks for all the nice comments, guys! I'm a little worried, though, because so many of you thought he was class pet. I thought I took care of that when I said he didn't get special or unique treatment. Should I have made it clearer?
funny
Clever.. I like this one
I thought that it was the class turtle, because Tom just sounds like a turtle name to me
kinda easy after reading the hint
I thought he was the class parrot
i thought it was the janitor
Nice teaser, it deserves a round of a-smilies->
Nice teaser but really easy
Nice teaser. I thought it was either the first day of school or they hadn't had any assignments.
I like how Tom sounds like a typical students name
uhh
Good one. I got it right away. This would be a good family teaser.
Too easy, and there are other possible solutions, as were pointed out by our fellow brainglers?
I also came up with class parrot. Would've been a better teaser if that option was somehow eliminated by the question.
