A mother has gone viral after emailing her son’s teacher in an effort to opt out of homework.

In a viral TikTok video, mother-of-three Cayley (@cayleyxo) shared how her son received a 15 to 20-page, double-sided homework packet on his first day of kindergarten.

“This is your sign to maybe say something to your teacher, nicely and politely, if something doesn’t sit right with you at their school. »
