“It's that time of the year again when I make that video where I let everybody know that my children do not do homework and they're never going to do homework.”

Background
A mother, whose identity remains unconfirmed, has publicly declared her decision to exempt her three children, aged 12, 10, and 6, from completing homework. This stance was shared in a video posted to TikTok by user @ashyassss, who retells follower-submitted stories. The video was subsequently reshared on X by the account @HistorianUSA1.
The mother's core argument is that the eight hours of schooling per day should be sufficient for education, and any perceived lack of learning is not her responsibility. She stated, "Teachers can get over themselves. You teach them for eight hours a day.
If that's not enough time, I don't know what else to tell you." She further elaborated on her parental role, asserting, "My job as a parent is to play with my kids. Your job as a teacher is to teach my kid." She also indicated a disinterest in parent-teacher conferences, stating, "You always call me in for parent-teacher conferences that I don't attend because I don't care."
