Editor’s note: Believe it or not, children’s homework is making their parents ill. One parent suffered a heart attack because of the stress of helping their child with homework, according to a post on Sina Weibo. Who is to blame for the parent’s heart attack?
Li Haonan,16:
I think the student should be responsible for this tragedy. As we students grow older, we should be more independent than we used to be. We can take good care of ourselves. Doing homework with the help of our parents sounds unreasonable. It’s obvious that we can finish it alone. So it’s the student’s dependence that leads to such a sad story.
WangKerui,16:
In my opinion, there’s a connection between this sad incident and school. Homework gives students a chance to examine the knowledge they’ve got. However, school always gives us tons of homework at once. If we have problems, we will turn to our parents for help. When our parents are very busy, they will get angry.
Zhou Xueyao,17:
I think parents themselves are to blame. They always put great pressure on their children, which has bad effects on both parents and children. They should take it easy and let their children do their homework by themselves.
