A mother was left severely stumped at her son's English homework and has asked other parents online to give her a hand.
Homework is getting harder and harder these days for parents to help with. Gone are the times of addition and subtraction equations and stringing simple sentences together - now it's algebra and trigonometry and even prefixes.
One mum was so baffled by her son's English homework that she posted it to a parents' Facebook page in the hopes that someone might be able to help her out with the correct answer, reports the Mirror US.
Could you have figured it out? Take a good look at the question below and try to figure out where the 'de' should go in the sentence.
The mum wrote: "My son brought this home from school. Prefixes. Hoping one of you clever lot can help. He had to use them all but we can't find where 'de' should go."
The question requires kids to "add the correct prefixes" into the following statement: "George's mum was distrustful of his internet misuse. She disapproved of the videos he over watched. She made him rewind so that she could review what he had watched."
A lot of parents found this matter rather funny as they were all pretty bad at solving it. One joked: "His name is deGeorge?"
Another added: "De end?"
A confused English teacher even chimed in: "I'm an English teacher and have been staring at this for what feels like years!" and also added: "De shouldn't go anywhere. If you need to use all the prefixes, the question is wrong."
One parent even complained about the existence of homework altogether, noting: "Children do enough at school. Why homework? That's what I say."
Some even suggested that the 'de' prefix was simply a ruse to confuse the smart kids and didn't even belong int eh question. And
