"I'm curious to know why you want me to finish this assignment when I completed it already"
works better than
"Bitch, I'm not doing this shit. I did it already! Kiss my ass!"

LOL!! Wait! No. But seriously, that's how they talk to teachers nowadays. I love that my mommy was one of those parents who had NO problem asking to have a meeting with me, her, the principal and the teacher I was having an issue with. I'd better NOT try to handle it on my own.
