Schools opened last week, and parents have been dealing with kids not wanting to go to school, returning like they went to a jungle, and others trying to escape the school premises.
@njabseypam posted a video of her niece, who just started Grade R, complaining about English. In the video, the young one says she has no clue about the language.
She tells her family about her experience at school. She said her teacher started speaking English and asked the class to repeat after her. When asked what the teacher was saying, she said she didn't remember.

A boy threw tantrums on the first day of school
In another story, Briefly News reported about a boy throwing tantrums as the teacher takes control.
A TikTok video posted by @dheeya3839 showcased a child who refused to leave the car once his mom dropped him off at school. The little boy continuously refused to exit the vehicle, although his mother pleaded with him. As the video progressed, the teacher approached the car and told the child to come outside, but the little kids refused. The teacher then carried him out of the car and took him inside the school.
