‎ The mother asked him why, and he admitted that only their maid cooks delicious meals.

‎In the tweet, which has garnered over 1.3 million views, the teacher shared that in her school, refusing to report a child who refuses to eat attracts a penalty.

‎Her lengthy tweet reads below….

‎So a child in my class brought food to school today but didn’t touch it.‎I asked why, and he said their house help hasn’t returned from Christmas break.

‎Now, in my school, if a child doesn’t eat and you don’t report it or inform the parent through the communication book, you’ll be penalized. The funny part? This particular parent never opens the communication book.

‎I still wrote it there and, when she came to pick him up, I politely stepped aside with her and said, “Good afternoon ma’am, your child didn’t eat his food today. I don’t know why.” I pretended like he hadn’t told me anything.Only for her to turn to the boy and ask, 

‎Why didn’t you eat your food?. And this boy confidently replied, “It’s not sweet now. Shebi it’s only aunty Mercy that knows how to cook very well.
