Columnist Vala Afshar shared the video, which shows the girl, not using any safety precautions while using the zipline, on Twitter with the caption, "Some children will do whatever it takes to get to school and get an education. What we need to do is make it easier for them to access education."

A comment on the video asked if students deserve to take such a decision to access basic amenities, such as education. "when parents and families are involved in their children's schools in situations like this... you may end up with lot of questions with no right answers! "do they really deserve all of this?," said the tweet by a handle under the name Steph.
