Reactions as mum displays little daughter's assignment
Reactions have trailed the post after the confused mother shared her pain online.
Omoyemwen Efosa Ogar said:
“The maize seed can't float on water unless you put it in a container and put the container on water to float. Note it should be an empty container.”
Merit Wagbara commented:
“Floatation test. This can be achieved by putting maize in water.”
Sarah Jake said:
"Don't stress me o. Nawa for these textbook authors."
Ade BoLa Raheem said:
“Work that teachers are supposed to explain to pupils in school, they will send it to parents in form of homework.”
@Docalz Nkatha said:
“If you put an egg in salty water it will float but with sink in pure water. Maybe you can try with the maize seed too.”
Hopewell Asuquo reacted:
“Some assignments like this one should be experimented in the class for the child to understand it better rather than giving it as a homework. It's well with some of us.”
ChiChi Solomon commented:
“Me a go return am to the teacher like dat.you can come n stress me.”
Frustrated mum laments over assignment piled on child
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a video shared on Tik Tok by @bellepeauworld has made public a mother's grievance with her son's education. The clip began with the mother asking her son, who was perched on a chair, how old he was.
Her son, with innocence in his eyes, proudly declared he was five. The mother then explained that her son is currently enrolled in nursery three, also known as the transitional class.
The mother's main grievance stemmed from the fact that the school had just concluded a two-day mid-term break, which she believed should have provided a well-deserved respite for her young son. However, to her dismay, the break seemed to have been overshadowed by excessive homework assignments.
