Using programming to avoid homework has a long and storied history.

One of my very first programs I wrote was a QBASIC program to sort my spelling words in 2nd grade in 1991. I loved the idea of beating the system more than I actually disliked sorting my spelling words. I was quite proud of myself, and it seems to have worked out in the long run.
