I have a one year old. Definitely not amusing. I'm hearing similar stories in Bangalore. I'm still trying to figure out what kind of school to send Ben to. On one side, I'm hearing stories of rote learning and exam drills for 3 year olds in traditional schools. On the other, I'm worried about the influence of the children of the nouveau-riche in the non-traditional schools. A friend took his daughter went for a Pirates of the Caribbean themed birthday party at Angsana for a 7 year old the other day for example. His estimate was that about a lakh/lakh and a half was spent on it. As he was leaving, his daughter asked for a similar party for her next birthday. -- b
