: I think you are right. They must be teaching you
good lessons there. Because the other day when Manisha blamed you for something you did not do, you didn't get mad at her. You didn't even tell your mom about it. When I told Manisha's mom about that, she blamed Manisha and was really proud of you. I bet you learned how to control
your temper in Jain school! : You are right! Our Jain teachers are so wonderful,
you should come there and see for yourself. : I shall go home and ask my mom right now. Oh,
wait a minute! I forgot to ask you whether there were any rules that I should know? : There are some rules that we must follow. Many of
them are the same rules we follow in school. But some others rules are used only in Jain Pathshalas. The general rules are : Go to class every Sunday or whatever other day is fixed by the center. Be at the Pathshala on time. Wear clean and simple clothes. Take your books to the class. Do not chew gum or eat candy in the class. Take off your shoes before entering the center. Say “Jai-Jinendra" to the teachers and to other students. Be nice to everyone in the class. Do not quarrel or scream during the class.
