Mum Royce Winnick, from New York, found herself at a loss when reviewing her daughter's homework, designed to teach the letter 'T' through image recognition and phonetic exercises.
In the incident, a mother, named Royce stumbled upon a worksheet featuring illustrations where children were tasked with phonetically spelling out corresponding words.
The challenge arose with a depiction of five rabbits, leaving both Royce and her daughter puzzled about its intended meaning.
In her quest for answers, Royce turned to Facebook, seeking input from other parents on deciphering the enigmatic question.
Responses varied from 'thumper' to 'twabbit', yet the correct answer, 'vet', proved elusive and illogical to Royce.
Below the post, many users shared their answers to the math question, while some admitted they completely lacked knowledge of the answer.
One person said: a 6 year old would see it as a bunny or rabbit, no way would they say kit or pet
A second wrote: Five bunnies - 3 crossed out, Two remain. - Answer Two.
While a third commented: What has Vet got to do with T? How is it any more right than Pet? Was this a lesson to make the child feel like a failure? Or a badly taught teacher teaching badly?
Someone else said: Not sure about the rabbits. But I would have labeled the smiley people as “kind”, and drew a crown on the man to make “king”.
Another added: A baby rabbit is a kit or kitten so that would make more sense
Someone else said: You lost me at tub, I would have put the bath.
Despite her daughter's attempt with 'pet', the teacher marked 'vet' as correct, adding to Royce's bafflement over the worksheet's logic.
Royce shared another perplexing worksheet focusing on the letter 'K', where illustrations of a group of people and a man named 'Ken' further perplexed both child and parent.
This is not the first time a math question has left viewers stunned.
This incident unfolded when a mother took to social media to share her disbelief over the marking of her child's year two homework.
The mother's post on Reddit gained significant attention, highlighting her frustration upon discovering what was deemed the 'correct' answer in her child's English assignment.
The homework required students to choose synonyms for given words.
In this instance, the word 'ideal' prompted conflicting interpretations.
The student chose 'perfect' as the synonym, a choice that was marked incorrect by the teacher. Instead, 'interesting' was indicated as the 'correct' synonym, sparking confusion and disbelief among parents.
The mother's reaction mirrored that of many others who questioned the logic behind the teacher's assessment.
The discrepancy between common understanding and the teacher's interpretation left her and others wondering about the standards applied in educational assessments.
