It taught me something else: deal with similar situations for my kids in a better way.

Some things I have inculcated as a part of my children's education:

1. Lots of peer interaction and physical playtime.

2. Pomodoro technique: just 10-15 minutes of assured focus to cover exam topics starting several weeks before the exam date.

3. Treat all grades with praise of hardwork! Because they did put in the time and effort. And briefly go over mistakes and skipped questions.

4. Treat the school curriculum as a secondary medium of instruction and push parental instruction as primary without speed limits.

My view: the muslim think is quite segregationist. None of the Muslim-majority nations were/are ready to take the Rohingyas except Bangladesh. That too after being promised aid from gulf countries.

> The word “curry” originated in India, although it did not have a long history there. Instead, it derived from a Portuguese mispronunciation of a term meaning “spices,” which British colonizers applied to a wide swath of Indian dishes.

Such misinformation that I can't even...

Kari is a Tamil word. I am Tamil. It has been in the vocabulary for thousands of years. Just made some elephant yam kari for lunch. It is always dry. Zero gravy. Something with gravy is kootu.

(Japanese kare is something completely different. It is by definition a thick gravy. It might trace its origins to india. But it is a separate dish now.)

> Tesla's founder was well known, for example (as a founder and exiter of another company).

Tesla's original founders are indeed "unknown."
