Bholi had feared going to school. Why did she feel that she was going to a better place than her home?

Ramlal sent Bholi to school because he could not neglect Tehsildar's advice. Bholi never knew anything about school. When her father suddenly caught her by the hand, she was frightened because she thought she would also be sold as her old cow, Lakshmi. When she saw that she got to wear decent clothes and got well groomed, she felt that she was going to a better place than her home.
