Netizens who took to the video's comment section shared varying opinions on the school placement.

"The fact that guy had 40 doesn’t mean he is not good. If you listen to the mother the child wants to do technical engineering program or some STEM. Meaning the child is a machine oriented person. After 3yrs Put the machines down and you will see the wonders he will do."
