Cursory: A Worried and Caring Mother has shared her frustration regarding her son’s recent school assignment.
It is good to know that we still have mother’s like Jacinta Adeyemi, that sees to it they go through their children’s assignment booklet to ascertain their performance.
Jacinta shared her frustration on her Facebook handle where she is identified as Jacinta Adeyemi. In her post, she expressed her concern which was attached with pictorial excerpts of her son’s marked work.
According to her, she is yet to understand the school teaching method having seen the accuracy in her son’s answers.
She explained that she often feels like she is overreacting when she raises issues at her son’s school. However, she firmly believed that this particular incident warranted discussion.
The assignment consists of several questions that is subject centered on theatre and performance arts. One question asked for the definition of a choreographer which Jacinta son’s response was; “A choreographer is a theater artist who teaches dance.”
Another question asked for three items used for makeup, to which the young student listed “powder, adhesive, and lipstick.” When asked to define costume, the boy responded, “Costumes are the clothes and accessories worn by actors and actresses in drama presentation.”
While this answer was accurate, Jacinta’s concern arose with the definition of makeup. Her son defined makeup as “used by women to make them look beautiful.”
