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.
The packet was meant to encompass all of his homework for August, but when the sight of it stressed her son out, she sent the teacher a “cutesy” email.
She started the video, explaining: “I sent my son’s kindergarten teacher a cutesy little email saying, ‘I’m sorry.
“Kindergarten teacher here - it’s normal for kids to not like school the first couple of weeks or even months!”
I did, however, tell parents to read a book to their child every day, so that was their only ‘homework.’”.
“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. »
