Akumade Eze said: The Teacher is very very very wrong. The instruction is CAPITAL or SMALL letter, which means if the word is in capital, you fix there, also Small letter you fix there."
Geraldine Nwankwo wrote:
"You were correct. The instruction was for the child to identify which was written in capital letters or small letters and group them under accordingly."
Uche Rose said: "Madam your child is expected to write on both space provided, the in capital letters while the second space in small letters."
Morenike reacted: "You were correct the instruction was write each under capital or small letters not capital and small letters. So if the words is written in capital letters you write it under capital and if it’s small letter you write under small letter. Two examples was done to guide while didn’t the publisher write on both as examples."
Ogbonna Clever added: "Those of you saying the teacher is correct, should calm down and read slowly with understanding and attach comprehensive attitude into the word “OR” , and you will see that both you and the teacher needs to go back to school."

May Almighty God guide Us as teachers I always say it we should be very careful when we are marking Am also teacher should always master what he or she is teaching or marking May Almighty Allah increase our knowledge

Bashiru Oyetunji If I am to be the teacher I will score the child zero for not doing the assignment by himself, and the mom reprimanded for helping his son to do his assignments,the assignment is met for the child and not for the mom. I don't want to know who is right or wrong.

He or she might be under some tension or not checking the examples properly..I tell you some children handwriting might be deceiving but let the teacher still accept is or her mistake and move on for better.
Gloria Sunday advices:
Who is the first teacher? You as the mother may not understand your child's handwriting,the mistake may comes from your child and not the teacher

People with low JAMB scores are the ones admitted to read Education courses in our universities. Colleges of Education are the last choices for our children and admission seeking candidates. Teaching is the last resort for a jobless graduate, where the pay isn't attractive and no motivation...we'll definitely eat what we produce!
