Kim Kardashian just dropped a bold opinion that’s got parents and educators talking: she doesn’t believe kids should have homework. During her appearance on Kai Cenat’s Mafiathon 3 livestream on September 1, 2025, the reality star and business mogul shared her views while chatting with the popular Twitch streamer. The candid moment, which unfolded during a lively discussion about daily routines, has sparked a heated debate online about the role of homework in children’s lives. The conversation started when Cenat, known for his high-energy streams, playfully stressed the importance of doing homework, saying,
“You gotta do your homework, man.”
Kardashian quickly pushed back, declaring,
“I don’t believe in homework.”
She explained that kids already spend eight hours in school and should use their time at home for sports, family bonding, or relaxation.
“I think the homework should be left for, like, in school,”
She said at the 0:25 mark that piling on assignments after school leaves little room for a balanced childhood. The statement, delivered in the casual chaos of Cenat’s Mafiathon 3, a 30-day streaming marathon featuring celebrity guests like Snoop Dogg and Serena Williams, quickly caught attention. Many on social media praised Kardashian’s stance, pointing to studies suggesting homework has limited benefits for younger students. Others, however, argued that homework builds discipline and reinforces learning, calling her view out of touch, given her access to private tutors for her four children.
Beyond the homework debate, Kardashian’s appearance was packed with entertaining moments. The stream featured playful banter, with Cenat and guests joking about personal habits like cleanliness. A pop quiz on U.S. geography and presidential powers led to more laughs than correct answers, keeping the vibe light.
Kardashian also shared insights on personal growth, urging self-awareness and better communication, which stood out as a rare serious moment. She didn’t miss a chance to plug her SKIMS brand, teasing upcoming fashion shows and cozy pajamas, a savvy move to connect with Cenat’s Gen Z and Alpha audience. The collaboration itself is noteworthy. Kardashian and Cenat have history, from her cameo as his “therapist” in the Mafiathon 2 trailer to Cenat attending her daughter North West’s 11th birthday party in June 2024.
Their chemistry added to the stream’s appeal, though some fans speculated her kids, North or Saint, might have influenced her appearance due to their love for Cenat’s content. Given his past feud with Cenat over a Yeezy review, there’s even buzz on social platforms about whether her ex, Kanye West, might react.
Kardashian’s homework stance taps into a broader conversation about rethinking education. Her point echoes research highlighting the value of play and extracurriculars for kids’ development, but critics say she overlooks homework’s role in building skills like time management.
Delivered in the high-energy, pool-noodle-wielding chaos of Mafiathon 3, her comment might not have been a policy proposal, but it’s certainly got people rethinking what kids need after school.
