Edumucation

Before I forget to mention it there is a mural in my school that reads "Parents are Gods"
Think about that..

Last post I mentioned how proper Indians talk in English. Here's why. I know it sounds silly, but to be fair this is for people learning English as a second language. Here is an excerpt from my English text book.

It is Babu's birtday. He gives a chocolate to Seenu who politely refuses. He says it might harm the teeth. Babu argues
that it will not harm the teeth. Their argument is shown below.

Seenu: Wish you a happy birthday, Babu
Babu: Thank you Seenu. Please have some chocolates.
Seenu: No thank you.
Babu: Why? Do you think that chocolates will harm your teeth?
Seenu: Yes, they will.
Babu: But this is dairy milk chocolate. It won't harm your teeth.
Seenu: Still, I don't agree with you.
Babu: At least try one. It's Amul chocolate.
Seenu: Whatever it is.......I don't want it.
Babu: If you brush your teeth after eating chocolates, nothing will happen
Seenu: However, I am still not convinced.
Babu: Alright, let's go to a dentist and consult.
Seenu: That.s a good idea!

Another one says:

A thief stealthily entered a house. He threatened the inmates with a knife and asked for the jewel box. The child who was sleeping woke up and started crying. They pleaded that they had no jewel box but only an ox. The thief went near the ox to take it away, but it kicked him. The thief lost a tooth and ran away.

This one is from my science book:

a) Leaf margin is notched by broad nosed weevils...b) Citrus leaf lamina with ventral pits is caused by citrus psyllids....e) paddy leaf with elongated deep scarification is caused by leaf beetles and larvae of hispid beetles....f) leaf lamina is extensively skeletonised by leaf skeletonisers.....i) Rice: the binomial of rice is Oryza sativa [and] is attacked by a number of pests...Rice bug sucks the sap from developing grains at the 'milky stage.' It causes 10 to 40 percent loss of rice yield.

And that's just one of six rice pests described! My dad (who is typing this for me right now) is guessing this is because rice is sort of important here.
