A mum has cried out over her two-year-old daughter's school homework, which she termed inappropriate.

In a TikTok post, the woman, @tripple_m___, maintained that the content of the textbook given to her daughter is not age-appropriate.
She questioned why a two-year-old would be asked to name the mother of computer, or questions about Jesus Christ.
According to the woman, she had no problem with the 25-page homework if they were fitting for her daughter.
However, what she was given was way above her age, which caused the woman to worry about the state of the country's education system.
In her words:
"Teacher what are you doing In school …,, I will spend money to buy textbook, I will still be the one to do the assignment … it’s not nice.
"Let me not even get started with the content of the textbooks that are not age appropriate for the students , how can a two year old be asked who is the mother of computer, Jesus this and Jesus that, recite this and that … things that are supposed to be given to a 4-5 year old child.
"I don’t have an issue with the 1-25 pages ooo… if they had asked her to scribble on 25pages or repeat an alphabet or Numbers on 25 pages I wouldnt have been pissed because it’s age appropriate for them… right now what they need is repetition not marathon…. I don’t know what is becoming of our educational system."

"Who buys textbooks termly? textbooks are to be used for a full academic session (1st,2ndand 3rd term) honestly the workload is much for a 2 Year old,but factors to consider is when the textbook was given to her during this term besides the workbook is to be done weekly just as it implies and it seems like the teacher combined 3-4 weeks as the home activity the teacher should have divided it in a way that those pages can be covered within a week or two with classwork inclusive."
