[Assam] From Posoowa--Example of Creativity in High School Instruction

[umesh sharma]

Well as in India not all US public/govt schools are the same. The Indian govt school my father studied at ( www.rimc.org ) sent a graduate to Harvard College recently (2002 I think)  - an incentive for me to try the same.

Similarly Kendriya Vidyalayas in India are central govt run schools and have sent graduates to IITs and beyond. 

In US as well schools in  rich suburbs get upto 6 times more per student funding as compared to those in innercity/urban schools - hence it depends upon which neighborhood you are in .

 Here is a take by Nobel Laureate Mello now in MA (who studied in Fairfax High School near my place ) on why he wants to put his children in private schools unless the local school district fund the local schools better - he wants to put his own Nobel prize money into it if need be - those in poorer neighborhoods in US cannot expect the same funds from local residents (as must be known nearly all funding for US govt schools comes from property taxes of that city.

 One significant difference:  All of the students from India are from Private Schools. Nandinee is from a public high school ( not like Indian Public School, as in Doon School etc.), Shawnee Mission East High School, Kansas.
