Seyi said when children come from Nigeria to enrol in Canadian schools, their teacher notices they want to do more work.

She noted that in Canada, the workload for the children is not much, unlike in Nigeria where they children go to school and come home with so much homework.

"Have you noticed that when Nigerian children come to Canada and start school, they are always ahead of their classmates, especially in maths and science. Have you noticed it? Canadian schools is 'jeje'. Back home, our children will bring assignments home, carry plenty books to school that their shoulders would even be paining them from the load of the books that we give them. But here in Canada, they just put one laptop in their bag and go to school and they don't come home with any homework. That is why when our children come from Nigeria and start school in Canada, the class teacher is always saying 'your child is ahead of others, your child is wanting to do more work.' I always tell them, please, give him something harder to do, give him more work. Becaude Canadian school is according to age. A lot of times, when our children come, they have to drop one or two classes, which is sad for the child; but well, that is how the Canadian system works."

"I'm still struggling with this, my fear is that it will make my children laid back, they are always coming home with gifts for being best in this and that, giving them a false sense of being outstanding."
