Class 7 science teacher told them to ask for evidence. My daughter started with her paati

New science teacher this term has a line she uses a lot: "Where is the evidence?" My 12 year old has adopted it. Sunday video call, my mother tells her not to sleep with wet hair or she'll catch a cold. Daughter, very politely: "Paati, what's the mechanism?" My mother called me afterwards to ask what they're teaching in that school 😂

    In fairness to your daughter, that is a good question to be asking at twelve. The harder lesson is that asking it of a grandmother on a Sunday call has social costs. Hopefully the teacher gets to that part as well.

      We get this from our 12 year old too, except about salt. I explain this stuff to patients all day. At home I'm asked for a source. ❤️
