Came here to see parents’ feedback on the school after visiting the school physically and coincidently meeting a couple of parents outside the school premises. But what I have seen and what I have noticed here, are two opposite stories. I also see that most of the reviews for this school on this website are flagged as fake, just look at the reviews of these people:
Neethu_G
Ashwini_M
Srilakshmi_N
Shakila_S
This means that the school is indulging in putting fake reviews by themselves. Which is proof enough of their honesty, see image too.
After reading other reviews, I have concluded that those are also not true. I spoke to some of the parents who I coincidently met outside school premises, who were visibly shaken up when I went for admission this year, their opinions were 180 degree opposite to what some of the "parents" have written here. I spoke to one businessman parent who was seen helpless and angry as the school was demanding full fees in the Pandemic for his daughter studying in the primary section, he even told me that the school has increased the fees during the lockdown. He said that he belonged to the hospitality business which suffered heavy losses. When he has argued about the fees, he was sent a circular for strict action on parents arguing on fees. He also told the school is charging hefty penalties like Rs 300 per day or more if the fee is not paid on time, even in the Pandemic.
These schools are not only violating government norms but doing completely unethical and unjust business where they charge full fees and even building fund by conducting 2-3 hours of online classes, which is not proportionate to the full fee that was paid for 7-8 hours of on-campus classes. Another parent was saying that even this school has charged full fee for Montessori by providing online classes for 80 minutes, can Montessori be substituted with online classes, it is a mockery of the Montessori method of teaching, he said. And they don’t follow any rules or orders of the government, those are just thrown into the dustbin. Shame on the School Department and Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education who are watching schools turning into money minting businesses even in the Pandemic. The constitution of India and several supreme court orders have barred any society or trust to run schools as profitable businesses, but as service to the society, yet in Bengaluru, school business is thriving like anything even in the Pandemic by coercion, force, or whatever you call it.
