Widow Displays Little Daughter's Assignment

Cursory: A young Nigerian widow has shared her distressing experience on a private Facebook group

A mother shared her anguish on closed Facebook group as a teacher marked down her daughter in an assisgnment.

According to her, her teacher marked incorrect to the question ‘who pays our school fees’ which the supposed answer ticked by her innocent daughter was ‘mother’.

The poor widow who has been the one catering for her family since the death of her husband brought it openly in anguish.

She wrote

“Good evening mums and mums-to-be. I just wish to share a pain. Just maybe I’ll be fine from reading soothing comments. I’m a young widow with 2girls and I recently changed school for my daughters as I felt they weren’t doing well in their previous school.

“My 1st daughter of 5 started school in 2021 (@3years), just 2 months after her dad’s demise. All these while, they’ve both known me to be their dad and mum as they see me shouldering all the burdens and thinking alone.

“And with support from caring friends and family. The picture here is an assignment from her continuous assessment booklet and you could see she ticked “mother” in the question asked about who pays our school fees. Her teacher marked it bad.

“The pain in my heart comes from the sincerity of my daughter’s answer and not the teacher’s marking. My daughters have never experienced a dad taking them to school or asking them what they need for school. It has been me.”
