Kids and maths assignments
The mother (@lik_da_stitch) wondered why a kid who was taught simple additions in class will have to solve quadratic equations as an assignment.
She funnily asked whether the parents were in her class to have to stress over the child’s assignment after the financial burden of paying school fees.
Speaking in pidgin English, she said that if what her child had been taught in school was given as an assignment, the child would not have needed her help.
The mother wonders if her kid’s assignment was for her and husband.
