Father says he’s tired of helping children with assignments

Identified as @iamxpectedofficial on TikTok, the father explained the challenge he has been facing and warned his children’s teachers.

He argued that teachers were over-relying on parents to complete homework tasks, which was impacting his ability to manage his own time and responsibilities.

His plea to the teachers was clear, to strike a better balance between homework and in-class learning.

In his words:

“I’m tired of doing homework with my kids everyday. This goes to teachers. You people would have told me to come and join you in school because tell me why I will be doing homework with my kids everyday. I have things to do. I have other things to do. The reason I sent them to school is for you to teach them and give them homework that they can actually come back and do by themselves.

“Not everyday I have things to do and I’ll still come back and do homework. Do you think I don’t have what to do? Abi am I doing the work for you people? Please I’m tired of doing homework o. I’m tired. Some of the homework, I have to even browse them. I am tired unless you people will start paying me for doing homework.”
