Nigerian Father Slams School for Giving Homework to 2-Year-Old, Demands Refund

• A Nigerian father has gone viral after criticising his two-year-old daughter’s school for giving her assignments despite her being unable to speak.

• In a video, he questioned the school’s logic, demanded a refund of his fees, and declared his daughter would not return. He explained he only enrolled her to keep her engaged at home, not to burden the family with homework.

• Social media users reacted with mixed opinions, with some siding with him and others mocking his complaints.

A man has criticised his two-year-old daughter’s school for giving her an assignment when “she cannot even speak yet.”

In a viral video, he asked: “Why would a school give an assignment to a child who has not started talking, especially on the second day of resumption?”

He demanded a refund of his fees, declaring: “My daughter will no longer return to the school.”

Explaining why he enrolled her, he said: “I only wanted the school to help keep the child engaged so that the family could have some rest at home.”

The angry father wondered: “Who do they expect to do the assignment since my daughter clearly cannot handle it?”

He added: “It is unfair for me to work hard, earn a salary, pay school fees, and still be expected to do assignment on behalf of a two-year-old who cannot even talk yet.”

Concluding, he sent a message to the proprietor: “My daughter will not be returning, and I demand a refund of my money.”
