Florence Public School, RT Nagar, Bangalore
I am a successful Engineer doing well in the United State and also an ex-student from this school.
I wouldn’t attribute any bit of any student’s success to this school.
Parents are happy with a false sense of one’s child’s success and think the school is doing a good job. I would like to educate these parents that success in life has got nothing to do with how much you score in your board exams but the values you learn as you grow. And this school teaches and preaches everything that one shouldn’t be exposed to.
Students including myself begin to have some respect for some teachers because of their expertise and the way they teach in class. But these same teachers indulge in malpractices and help out students in the 10th board exam. I would blame the teachers for giving in to this practice but then the main culprit is money rich AF Kudroli and his head mistress who bribe official who go on around invigilating these exams. What is even more shameful is the fact that this school even goes about claiming a 100% track record. If malpractices were not allowed, this school wouldn’t even garner a 50% record. I scored 98 on 100 in my tenth math and the only problem I didn’t know the answer to was a 2 mark problem. Knowing that I could be a potential 100 scoring student, I had a teacher quickly come to my desk and scribble the solution on my answer sheet in the presence of an official invigilating the exam. I was shocked and taken aback at this sick practice. I am not sure what they were trying to teach me in this school. I didn’t attempt that 2 mark question even though I had the answered scribbled in pencil.
This school forces you to buy books from school premises the same books available in the market for a lot lesser price. They collect money on every occasion - school day, annual day, sports day, prize distribution day and what not days. They have built building in every space that they can find and there is hardly any space for any sports related activities. Offered a 5 LAK cash price to the tainted match fixer in Sreesanth. No wonder he is from this school. The chairman AF Kudroli is another useless person who hardly has any clue on running an educational institution. If bribery, corruption is a problem in India, then these school lay the foundation for it.
