My two kids studied in that horrible school for one year Given a choice again I shall never send my kids to that school I will not recommend that school even to my worst enemy It is only providence and pure luck that nothing untoward happened to my kids
First - In the name of discipline Mr Murthy the then correspondent and husband of the lady principal -He was the worst monster - used to give corporal punishment I had cornered him one day (during my visit to the school to see my kid) with half a dozen canes of varying lengths and thicknesses lying on his table in his room When I questioned him about caning he started blabbering I threatened him with dire consequences if he resorted to caning the children especially my two kids My kids started to receive threats and frequent ill treatment thereafter
Second - The class teachers were so inhuman to humiliate the children I once again cornered the class teacher (Mrs Ramanakumari) when my sick daughter was asked to kneel down for 45 minutes on the hard floor under the sun with her knees directly on the floor without the cushioning of her skirt to maximise the pain
To my horror about 10 children surrounded me to describe other inhuman punishments they were subjected to This lady teacher had her own girl child I squarely asked her whether she would award similar inhuman punishment to her own child? She had obviously no answer
Third- The school teachers used to give huge burden of home work and the kids were asked to wear three different badges ( one each for the house, group and the school name) If the kid missed even one the fineswere imminent
Fourth - I came to know subsequently that the School’s name was forced to change as "Howard Public School" as some one had protested that the owners were misleading the general public with that famous name of Harvard for their terrible school
I only pray to God that this horrible school’s owners (who were no less monsterous than Mr Sunirmal Chakravarthi of La Martinere School , Kolkutta ) had not driven any of their school children to suicide that the poor kid Rouvanjit Rawle was forced to commit
