Parents of Preschoolers  Discussion Forum

Dear Parents,

If you are thinking of putting your wards at Presidency, pl. reconsider your decision.
Reasons:
Uniforms -
==========
The school did not arrange it in proper time, even though, we had paid the uniform fee + measurement well in advance (Atleast 4 months before the school started, sometime in April)
Also, when the uniforms were distributed, it was a kiosk... We(parents) needed to go to Reliance Retail and get a readymade uniform, instead of the measure, we have given. Silly & Idiotic...!!
Nice way of making money...
Long Live the school management..!!!

Transport
=========
Not bad...But the care takers in the school van don' t take proper care...!!

School Management
================
Arrogant and dictator kind of people..Not the teachers..They are good to some extent..

So, my humble request for parents, pl. consider the above facts and check with your known sources
before deciding on Presidency..

Regards
Varan

I would urge parents not to make decisions related to schools by reading various blogs. Always go and check the school to experience the school. puvi replied. Latest problem with the school is they have shifted all KG1 sections into the basement with no natural light or ventilation. They don' t have any capacity planning in place. Admitted new students in lure of money and filled up coffers without adequate space in place. Now the little toddlers are made to sit in dens of darkness. They are forced to walk up to the ground floor even for basic needs as rest rooms. They have installed ACs without proper wiring and in a hurry, due to which there is a serious threat of short circuit and fire accidents. Already one such incident has been reported. When confronted for explanation, the Principal and his staff were found lying and hurling abuses and threats on parents.

They explain this is a short term makeshift arragement but for how long? They say 6 months to 1 yr until they find an alternative site and construct the building. Because of this issue, even good teachers have quit the school and the rest are just bearing the oppression of the admin and management brinda replied.
I agree with Varun. The management is very rude no proper response. Intially during admission they will talk very nicely afterwards slowly they will show the true color. If we ask question or quries to the admin people they will tell please mail to the management.

There is no parent forum. Even if we discuss with parents regarding any issue they will tell eventhough we are facing lots of issue we don' t want to join and discuss with the management.As they will target out kids or issue TC.

I feel there should be forum and all parents should join and discuss the issue with the management.

Every year there is increase in fee parents are struggling to pay but no one is ready to join together and discuss with the management. Only god should save the kids and parents from this type of schools management. Venkat replied. I have my daughter with the same school and as a matter of fact i have found the school to be really good, receptive and also a good place for my daughter to be put in. The place is well maintained and the teacher' s are really good. I had too had similar concerns (reading thru a lot of posts) but once i had my daughter attend the school everything has vansihed. Believe me it is a good school which does not pressurize the children and allows them to be what they are. anupam replied. I absolutely agree with Varan. Each and every bit of his observation is absolutely right. RK replied. Our child goes to Presidencey East, Kasturinagar, Bangalore from last year. So far, we have had good experience. School Management was receptive to lot of our ideas, feedback and implemented most of them. Teachers have been listening.

I have not used their transport so far.

Overall - our experience has not been that bad. priya replied. Are you talking about Presidency school in Bannerghatta road?This came as a shock to me.I' m planning to join my kid for the next academic year,there.Forget about the uniform,but is the management so rude?I' m even opting for the van.What' s your opinion about the safety of a child in the van?Can you guide me about the teaching process and behaviour of the teachers with children?Are they soft or all the time punishing and shouting on the kids?My kid is a very sensitive one.He can' t even take a little sigh of frustation.I' m worried.
