The video has left the internet in splits. Many took to the comment section and shared their views. While some related to the little boy's dilemma, others found the toddler adorable. A user wrote, "Galat nai keh raha ...hum ho gaye padhte padhte buddhe!" (He is not wrong, we have grown old because of studies), another user wrote, "Cute.. but heartbreaking... Poor children..so much load. I believe that our education system needs revamping badly.. it should be taught in a way..that children look forward to schools .. not avoid.."
"This is not funny not sure why people are laughing. Your kids need to enjoy studying. 98% marks do not guarantee success," the third commented. "Syllabus for little kids is so vast these days. They are not ready for such a burden but parents need to push them out of the competition. Education policies needs reform. I feel pity for little kids."
