Dyamn, I think you forgot to read between the lines. I don't think its the comparison between a govt. school kid and a private school kid and who's better, or whose english is better. It is the resources that are more readily available in the private schools. Allowing that access to others free of cost, which many other PRIVATE schools would hesitate, is laudable. It is up to you to either take advantage of such programs or blame it on India, our favorite pasttime and play victimization and do sit in protests :)!
