The lady sounded very high-handed when I asked some basic questions about the School. There is no playground. The building is built to the hilt (no space even around compound wall). These are gigantic tuition centres running in the garb of school. The fees are exhorbitant. I guess today the attitude is 'if the fee is high, definitely there should be something good about the school'. What is education if there are no play grounds, tennis courts, craft centre etc? Children studying here will turn into potato-bags by the time they spend the best part of their years here.

The school front desk says the school is board-agnostic...upto grade 7. Haven't heard any such stuff in any other school. And from grade 8 they follow the ICSE board. <br />They don't follow any said Board Pattern..do as they please till Grade 7 and they then want students to suddenly jump to the ICSE board pattern which is very tough and voluminous.<br />2. They don't have any notebooks...they do all their written work in some notepads which are not at all child friendly. <br />3. Schools should try and reduce the weight of the bag the students carry. Here all the notepad papers are filed in huge files which children carry to and fro. Which is a better option - a small 50 or 100 page notebook or a huge folder??? Don't understand why they complicate small things like this in a big way. <br />4. They don't have text books at all till grade 4 or so. Teachers will teach stuff in the class. What comes home is some worksheet which contains question and ans, fill in the blanks, match the following etc. What content is taught in class is really not known as all children are not able to come home and tell the parent. So it becomes very difficult for the parent to teach the child at home.<br />5. They have a whole lot of assessments throughout which are not informed and students get bored and tired just doing the assessments all year through. <br />6. The students don't perform well as a result of this endless tests and report cards are not filled with impressive grades.<br />So, friends it will be a Wonder Zone if you admit your child here...as you will be wondering what to do and how to go about things without any proper system if you get your child admitted here. <br />Many students have taken T.C this year and gone to other schools where we can find text books, notebooks etc unlike here. I too have taken a T.C for my child.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456876472568054115.post-90502506732244996642014-11-07T00:30:25.989+05:302014-11-07T00:30:25.989+05:30Hello Everyone,

We have heard many stories from other parents about the way she demotivates and treats children very badly, insulting them in front of their other peers. To our horror we saw the same old math teacher in this school also. Since we had already paid the fees we just left it at that.

They have been least affected by your resignations. Hope you dont want me to get the qualification details of you two teachers along with names and compare them with the others present on Ekya faculty board? It is evident that you had an ego fight with the VP and you left. So every post boils down to VP has to leave and get replaced by new VP. First you say there should not be any firing, then you want VP to be fired. Quite double standard I would say?<br /><br />And since you have been out of the school, let me update you that the students have been faring quite well in olympiads, national level competitions and exams, after losing gems like you two :).

Even if an ex employee is writing on this blog, it is a public forum and everyone has a right to express their views and opinions and sadly whatever is being said about the VP and the school management is true. What really is worrisome that instead of fixing the problem the management is involved in mud slinging on this forum. Shows the maturity of the people working in this school.<br /><br />Also, as far as the Math teacher taking revenge and leaving as her friend, the English teacher was fired is quite silly. Why didn’t she leave the same year that the English teacher left? Why did she continue to work for one whole year before she decided to leave. No one joins or leaves a job for any friend. So such allegations are silly and am sure there is more than what meets the eye. The sad part is that instead of seeing the big picture that our children’s future is at stake, people here are busy blaming each other. So please lets start concentrating on people most effected by all these resignations, OUR CHILDREN. The Director and Principal should wake up and smell the coffee. It’s time for them to take action and see that our kids get the good teachers they deserve as we are paying a huge sum as fees. If the management needs to change its current head of the institution, then they should look for an experienced VP who will handle her teachers and the school in a better way.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456876472568054115.post-36588278606631274882014-07-01T00:12:12.549+05:302014-07-01T00:12:12.549+05:30Good experience so far at Ekya Early Years Kanakap...Good experience so far at Ekya Early Years Kanakapura Road.
