THE SECOND semester of the school year started on Monday, which means that parents will once again be burdened with homework as doing some of their children's homework has become an obligation of the parents. Guangzhou Daily commented on Monday:

It is not uncommon for parents to post an SOS message on their social media, calling for help to finish a school assignment for their children.

Customized homework for students that requires the assistance of their parents is a manifestation of quality education.
