‘Parents don’t buy books here’: NRI women shares 4 facilities US government provides to public school stu

An NRI woman has highlighted four facilities provided by the US government to public school students, noting that parents do not need to buy books. Her observations were shared in a social media post that has drawn attention to the differences in educational systems.

According to her post, the US government supplies textbooks and other learning materials at no cost to students. She also mentioned that public schools offer free breakfast and lunch programs, ensuring children receive meals during school hours.

Additionally, she pointed out that transportation is provided for students who live beyond a certain distance from their school. The fourth facility she listed was access to special education services and support for students with disabilities.

The NRI woman’s remarks have sparked discussions among parents in India about the resources available in US public schools compared to those in India. Many have expressed surprise at the extent of government-funded amenities.

Her post has been widely shared, with some users noting that such facilities reduce the financial burden on families and promote equal access to education.
