“Subjects like math, literature, nature, and multitude have dual sets each. The math book has 184 pages, while a novel has 171 pages,” Huy said.
“Every night we get drunken observant how tough my child prepares books for his category tomorrow morning,” he expressed.

In his minute to Tuoi Tre, Huy also forked out some definitions that he had to demeanour adult in a compendium when his child asked him what they meant.
Huy is customarily one of many relatives who have encountered problems when promulgation their kids to initial category in a Southeast Asian country.
Another reader, Vo Huong, pronounced her child – who is also a first-grader – is removing quieter when she gets home after school.
