Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a video shared on Tik Tok by @bellepeauworld has made public a mother's grievance with her son's education. The clip began with the mother asking her son, who was perched on a chair, how old he was.

Her son, with innocence in his eyes, proudly declared he was five. The mother then explained that her son is currently enrolled in nursery three, also known as the transitional class.

The mother's main grievance stemmed from the fact that the school had just concluded a two-day mid-term break, which she believed should have provided a well-deserved respite for her young son. However, to her dismay, the break seemed to have been overshadowed by excessive homework assignments.
