Kavita learned about the subaltern

Stunned that Kavita learnt "subaltern" in Grade 6. I can't get over it. Subaltern!!!!! I didn't know this term/concept/word until way later. Kavita's read "Bitter Gourd" by Talat Abbasi
and, "Air Conditioning" by Mohsin Hamid for English Lit. The themes taught in class include identity, diaspora literature, power dynamics, class, subaltern, etc. I'm stunned because I wasn't taught these particular concepts in English Literature which was one of my favourite subjects. Have to give kudos to Beaconhouse for this. I have many issues with them (attitudes amongst teachers and families who reinforce class, nationalism, religiosity, English supremacy, they don't give any importance to physical education or music or art, in fact, Music is out 6th grade onwards, E-books, making kids do maths in pen, gender segregation) but this is great. If you wonder whether Kavita got it, she wrote really good answers and seems to understand these concepts.
