As kids move through school, their homework often gets harder and harder to understand. People who are parents can also get lost and not know how to help their kids. Luckily, online groups are stepping up to help and make things clearer.
Sites like Reddit and Twitter are now popular places for parents to get help with their kids’ chores. A few parents recently posted about their kids’ difficult homework on social media, which led to a flood of helpful comments from people online.
Someone’s child in first grade had to find pictures with the same ending sound as a fish’s fin. This made the parent scratch their head. The choices didn’t seem to go together, but Reddit users helped by saying that the answer was in the sounds, not the words.
A kindergarten exercise asked for a three-letter word to describe a picture of a rabbit and her babies. Another parent had trouble with it. A helpful Reddit user said that the answer was “pet” and that the paper was meant to be hard.
One parent found this out the hard way when their third-grader was asked how many coins Janell still had after losing some. People on Reddit came up with creative answers that showed how important it is to think critically and help each other.
The cases above show how powerful online groups can be in helping parents and kids with their chores. Sharing what we know and are good at can make learning easier and more fun for everyone.
