A Nigerian mother has sparked online discussions after criticizing her child’s school for assigning overly challenging homework that places unnecessary stress on parents.
In a widely shared post on X (formerly Twitter), she voiced her frustration, pointing out that the school’s homework did not align with what was taught in class. She argued that if assignments were based on classroom lessons, children would be able to complete them independently without needing parental assistance.
Her post has resonated with many parents who share similar concerns about the increasing difficulty of school assignments.
She voiced her concerns, saying:
“My child is the one in your class, yet you’re giving me and his father the assignment.”
“You teach them 2+2 in class, then send them home with quadratic equations, stressing both parents in the process.”
“Did we attend the class with them? If the assignment matched what was taught, would they still need our help?”
“We pay school fees, and now we have to do the assignments too? Just say we should also start attending school. As we drop off our kids, we might as well sit in class with them.”
As the post gained traction online, many people took to the comment section to share their thoughts on the matter.
