Watch: Angry Mother Complains About Child's Holiday Homework, Internet Finds It 'Relatable'

During the summer break, children look forward to enjoying a much-needed respite from the scorching heat. It is also common for teachers to assign homework and projects to students during this vacation time. In a recent video, a mother expressed her frustration with the concept of assigning holiday homework to the children, sparking a lively discussion among social media users.

In the viral clip, she pointed out that many teachers assign projects and assignments to children that they are incapable of completing themselves, often leaving parents to finish them instead. As the video continues, she urges teachers to consider assignments that match students’ abilities ensuring they can complete them independently without relying on their parents.

The viral footage was shared on X by Eminent Woke. The caption shared along with the video read, “Education system is doing this to parents.”

Shared on June 30, the video garnered significant attention online, racking up over 6.6 lakh views. The mother’s plea ignited a wave of reactions among viewers.

In the comment section, one user wrote, “This is the only Industry that Blames the Customer if the Product goes Bad.”

Another proposed, “If I were the Education Minister, I would ensure that students up to Class 8 have no homework.”

A viewer pointed out, “Then, they’ll leverage this in their marketing to show how great their schools are for new parents to enrol their kids. It’s a funnel.”

A parent in agreement wrote, “School has to give homework based on class level capacity. My son got homework like “Draw human body parts”. How can 2nd class students draw human body parts?” while another added, “I’m also doing my daughter’s Summer Vacation HW that is a 3D model to show longitudes.”

In contrast, a person defended, “Parents don’t want to spend time with their child. Why does a creative activity suddenly become a burden? You are supposed to sit with the child and make it fun for them, to make sure the child doesn’t get out of touch with the practice of learning.”

Another sharing their experience wrote, “I used to do all my homework myself while my dad only gave guidance. The point of these projects is to learn . you should ask your child to distribute the time evenly for playtime and hm ..the main reason for homework is that when a child enters school again he hasn’t forgotten everything!”

A person shared, “This is the strangest one in India. It’s very common knowledge that much homeworks could only be done by parents only & yet it’s routine…”

What do you think of the mother’s opinion?
