Recently one of our Parent has received RTI Reply from CBSE Board, Delhi. CBSE Board has given permission to Parachute Regiment Training Centre, Bangalore to change the name of the School from Parachute Regiment School TO Army Public School, PRTC on the same Affiliation No.830052 on 4th September 2012, subject to the condition that new management would not charge any fresh admission fee from the Students on this account. But, the School Management changed the name from 1st July 2011 (One Year Back) and collected Rs.21,000/- during March/April 2012, as Re-Admission Fee without the permission from CBSE & Competent Authority and started mentally harassing & discriminating the Children of Parents who opposed the Re-Admission Fees. Now, Karnataka State Commission for Protection of Child Rights and Dy.Director of Public Instruction, Bangalore North have recommended the Director of Public Instruction to take strict action against the School for violating Child Rights and other irregularities. Now 42 Students have filed Writ Petition Nos.38868 To 38909 of 2012 (Edn) in Hon'ble High Court of Karnataka represented by their Parents to quash the Re-Admission and monthly Fee.

Hi, Its been a long time since I posted anything on learning online for kids. So thought of listing out some of the sites which I have found to be very good for them.

Let me start with abcya.com. This site has lots of learning games for kindergarten to class 5. You can try out math and english language games. There are also fun games in this site and some of the apps can be downloaded for your iphone, ipod and ipad. The site navigation is simple and colourful, making your little one play and learn at the same time.
