Mum rewrites daughter's outdated homework

One mother was so shocked by her six-year-old daughter’s homework task that she decided to totally rewrite it.

New Yorker Lynne Polvino couldn’t believe her eyes when her daughter, Hazel, was sent home with a sheet of paper titled "Back to Work," which asked her to fill in the blanks.

The document detailed a girl called Lisa’s distress after her mother returned to work and she was forced to eat breakfast made by her dad.

"Lisa was not happy. Her mother was back at work,” the homework started.

The narrative went on to say that Lisa’s mother worked in a big office before she was born and now she had to return home.

However Lisa was having a “terrible” morning with her mother gone, after her father made breakfast which was “not good”.

It went on to say that Lisa was thinking on her way home that she would be lonely if her mother wasn’t there waiting for her.

But it finished with her mum saying she had left work early to spend more time with her daughter.

The whole narrative infuriated Lynne Polvino, who thought it was an outdated representation of the working mothers and stay-at-home fathers.

She decided to take things into her own hands and rewrote the whole thing.

"The morning was wonderful," Lynne wrote in the reworked piece of homework.

"Lisa had to get to school on time. Her mother had to get to work on time. Her father was home on his paid paternity leave, caring for Lisa's younger brother and contributing equally to the running of the household.

“No one was in a rush because Dad had things firmly under control."

She finished off saying Lisa spent time at her “free federally-funded after school enrichment program” and when she got home her mother was there.

“Lisa was glad she was growing up in a society free of gender bias and misogyny,” she said.

Speaking to Today, Lynne said the homework “pushed all the wrong buttons” with her.

"My shock and dismay quickly turned to outrage,” she said.

“ I mean, what decade are we in, anyway? In this day and age, we're going to tell kids that mothers working outside the home makes their children and families unhappy?

“That fathers don't normally do things like cook and wash the dishes?"
