Odd one out: The picture that shows how miscommunication can happen in schools when a boy brought in a huge river fish instead of a pet fish as requested by the teacher.

THE summer holiday has ended and the new school year in China begins now. Parents can relax a bit and not worry for at least half a day about keeping their children occupied.

But this is also the beginning of a nightmare. Helping the kids with homework given by “creative” teachers can drive mothers and fathers crazy.
