Attendance in Malala's class dropped because families
likely
The girls who did attend school
My mother made me breakfast and I went off to school. I
was afraid going to school because the Taleban had
issued an edict banning all girls from attending
schools. Only 11 students attended the class out of 27. The
number decreased because of Taleban's edictOn my
way from school to home I heard a man saying "I will kill
you." I hastened my pace and after a while I looked back
if the man was still coming behind me. But to my utter
relief he was talking on his mobile and must have been
threatening someone else over the phone.
