Do Those Kids Look Weird To You?
Authorities in Pakistan got a report that something wasn't quite right about one privately run primary school that was receiving government funding. It seems the kids there were really funny looking.
In fact, they looked like chickens.
So-called ghost schools — where people pocket government funds for education but use the schools for their own purposes — are a common problem in Pakistan.
"Chickens, television sets, video recorders, playing cards and breeding cages were found in what were supposed to be classrooms but no students," Kanwar Naved, the mayor of the city of Hyderabad told Reuters Wednesday.
"According to education department records, the school had 59 students and two teachers," he said.
Now, they say they are going to go after the owner of the school, but we think they are missing the obvious here. This is yet another manifestation of the animal uprising. The chickens ate the students and staff. Remember, you heard it here first.
