A Singaporean student expressed frustration on Reddit about the excessive holiday homework assigned by teachers just before the September break. The student criticized the sudden increase in workload, which included two sets of papers per subject, disrupting their planned revision schedule. They felt the timing was unfair and demotivating, as completing all the assignments in a week seemed nearly impossible. In response, a teacher commented that the push for additional homework often came from higher-ups rather than being a choice made by individual teachers. The teacher empathized with students and explained that teachers also want to spend time with their families.
