Review: Going to School in India

We recently received a copy of "Going to School in India" here at Super Cool Baby Headquarters (now in North Carolina!). This DVD is well outside what you would call a baby DVD. However, for those of you with older children, this would be a great DVD to help expose them to other cultures and ways of life.

The DVD is composed of a series of short vignettes including "Going to School in the Lake", "Going to School on a Bus", "Going to school on a Mountaintop", "Going to school in the Dark", and so on. Each of these tells the story of a particular child or family and how they go to school. It is quite remarkable how different things can be in other parts of the world. For example, in "Going to School in the Lake", we see a one-room primary school that teaches children of all ages. The students all live on small islands on a big lake, and must take canoes to school. In "Going to School on a Bus", a school-on-wheels travels around Bombay to teach children living on the street.

Again, this DVD is definitely not for babies, but readers with older children may find this subject interesting. Going to School in India is available from Asia For Kids.
