“Kila Mtu Afanye Kazi Yake” — A Mother’s Bold Letter to Her Child’s Teacher
A mother — let’s call her Nancy — sat down and wrote a handwritten letter to her child’s teacher. She did not hold back.
She poured out her frustration, her exhaustion, her pride. She said:
“Stop giving my child these difficult homework assignments. I don’t understand them. I can’t help. I already pay full school fees, remedial fees, motivation fees.” You teach. I parent.
She’s seen helpers sigh, parents googling tutorials late at night. She’s watched children suffer under lessons parents can’t translate.
Her letter resonated — thousands nodded in agreement.
Homework should reinforce classwork, not introduce brand new, confusing concepts.
Some parents chimed in:
“When I pay all that is required, the teacher should do their job — I should do mine.” Tuko.co.ke – Kenya news.
“We get home late. No energy left. Then homework rolls out. I second this parent.” Tuko.co.ke – Kenya news.
