Someone Pinch Me Part Zwei

And somebody else punch the Indian school authorities for me for coming up with good ideas too late, if this suggestion goes through.

When coupled with the first part of "Somebody Pinch Me", I am pretty sure people will not blame me for saying things (at the expense of sounding like a senior citizen) like,"The times they are a-changin'", "you today's school-kids are lucky, you got everything" and maybe, "are they making plans for practicals too?".

I remember when we used to have S-Ed class in our school days (I think we had 2 classes for 35 min each when we were in 9th and 10th std). Those were the classes when you dropped your eraser, pencil, pen (or sometimes even entire compass-box if needed) and disappeared below the bench to giggle in silence. I don't remember anything more I learnt from those classes. But my defective memory from those times forces me to ask whether 70 min is enough to teach the entire book properly.

But in all fairness, we must congratulate Indian authorities for doing something which even in UK is considered risque.

My favourite line from the what-do-you-call-it? "Children in US and Europe are over-exposed to s**-related crimes and s**, so we should teach Indian children about it." Apparently, that's what global perspective means.

Sigh... Good things always happen to other people...
