A mother’s plea for relief has gone viral as she laments the overwhelming workload her child faces at school, revealing that the teacher assigns six assignments every single day.
In an emotional outburst, she shouted, “We don tire! How is a child supposed to rest, play, or even eat properly with so much homework?” Her complaint has struck a chord with parents nationwide, many of whom say they are grappling with similar struggles in the education system.
Education experts warn that excessive homework can lead to stress, burnout, and loss of interest in learning, stressing the need for balance between schoolwork and personal development. Meanwhile, social media users are divided—some blame the teachers for being unrealistic, while others argue that discipline and hard work are key to academic success.
The mother’s cry has sparked calls for urgent review of teaching practices, with parents urging schools to prioritize children’s well-being over relentless assignments.
As the debate rages, one thing is clear: Ghanaian parents are reaching their limit, and the pressure on students is real.
