The teacher is asked to understand that the boy is “losing his homework” when he opens his notebook and his eyes swell. The parents insist that they are really sick, and not pretending. The parents rush to analyze the cause.
Strange but true, elementary school students in Henan, China, have swollen eyes every time they open their homework books. The parents of this child said that during this time, every time they did their homework, they had an “allergic reaction” and their eyes became swollen and red like walnuts. They squinted until there was only a small space left, unable to see the words to be written clearly.
With the child showing symptoms of swelling, this made the boy's mother so scared that she did not dare to let him continue with his homework. But how do we explain this to the teacher? Let's say your child is allergic to homework. Will the teacher believe it?
News reports indicate that the student's parents recorded their child's swollen eyes and posted the video online. They asked other parents if their children had been in similar situations. In the comments section, parents had an interesting conversation.
One parent said that when my child was in elementary school, every time I did my homework, my eyes would itch and I would often rub my eyes until they were red and swollen. But this symptom must not be an allergy. Because after asking the son, he admitted that he actually didn't want to do his homework. Pretending to be itchy I think that if I rubbed my eyes until they were swollen and red, I wouldn't have to do my homework anymore.
However, even if you deliberately rub your eyes until they become red and swollen, it is very difficult to make the eyes as swollen as this boy's. Parents have noticed for some time that if their child does not do his homework and drops a few extra drops of eye drops, his child's red and swollen eyes will disappear in no time.
In addition to the comments expressing surprise, some parents are more attentive, saying that some newly printed books may contain many volatile toxins. If the child has a sensitive physical condition, prolonged exposure can be dangerous. So parents should not neglect them. This is because allergic reactions can range from mild to severe enough to cause suffocation and blindness. Netizens recommend that parents take their children to a doctor to check the cause of the allergy.
If they are really allergic to ink, this elementary school student will have a lot of difficulty doing their homework in the future. Of course, it is inevitable that newly printed books may contain toxic materials or low-quality teaching aids.
