Indian summer vacations are over, leaving students with mixed feelings. Indian summer break is bittersweet. The joy of free time fades as students tackle the stack of summer vacation homework. Unlike some places, Indian schools expect projects and exercises to be completed during the break, adding a layer of responsibility to those lazy summer days.
A mother recently posted a video to express her displeasure with the holiday homework assignments given to kids, which sparked an intense discussion on social media.
She explains in the video how many teachers give homework and projects that kids can't do on their own, necessitating adult help. She urges educators to set projects that are appropriate for each student's level of ability so that they can do the work on their own without help from their parents.
The video was shared on X by Eminent Woke, with the caption, "The education system is doing this to parents."
