I was ten years old,when some people from a nearby government school came and told my parents that they should send me to a one-year education camp. My parents replied,"What's the use? Education never got us Villagers anywhere. What good will it do to a girl? Girls should stay at home and learn household work. That comes in handy when they get married.And anyway,how can we send our child so far away all by herself for a whole year?"
