School with only 6 students! - ParenthoodDiaries #87

There was a banner tied in front of a school, showing the photos and names of the top scorers.

We stopped our car next to that banner, due to traffic.
I was hearing my kids reading the names of students written on the banner. After reading all the six names mentioned on it, one kid told the other - "See, this school has only 6 students, aiyyoo..very few students!!".
It never occurred to me this way because my mind had been trained to see the top rankers being felicitated all the time. But my kids never faced a question from either me or anyone from our family (yet) asking - " Who came first in class?", "How many marks your friend has scored", bla bla.
I'm glad they haven't yet experienced the competitive side of the education, but are undergoing constant learning and enjoying their early schooling period.
