Tell Your Kids to Quit Complaining About School

thrillerDo your kids whine about going to school? Tell them it could be much worse. They could go to school in a graveyard.

I am not making this up. Some kids in Bihar, India actually go to school in a graveyard, and these poor kids are saying that the ghosts are now haunting their dreams and they are having trouble sleeping.

Read this: "I have stopped going to school after many dead people walked out of their graves and came into my dreams, ordering me to reach school on time," said six-year-old Raqib Ansari.

Does this remind anybody else of A Nightmare on Elm Street? I'm not particularly superstitious, but I think I'd rather be illiterate than go to school where there are 100 new shallow graves.
