<b><span style="color: blue;">Tutoring for kids</span></b><br />
<br />
Many Indian parents love to advance their kids in Math, so they send kids to centers like Kumon, Gideon, Eye Level, Huntington, Sylvan etc. Since English is a second language for Indians, kids also attend English classes. There are also private tutors for kids in Middle School. Online tutoring is also an option.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b>School Selection</b></span><br />
<br />
Public schools - You can attend a particular school depending on the community or street you live in.<br />
Charter schools - It covers the predominant area<br />
Private schools - You are free to apply anywhere<br />
<br />
Where you choose to live depends pretty much on the ranking of a school district or what you want for your child. Some parents tend to put kids where the Indian community is more, some just prefer other areas.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b>Extra curriculars</b></span><br />
<br />
Lots of opportunities for sports and hobbies. There are recreation centers, private centers, sporting fields and stadiums or just after-school campuses which offer a wide variety of activities.<br />
Your kids college application will require filling up some of those, so its one primary reason parents tend to put their kids in classes.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: blue;">Play</span></b><br />
<br />
Playground, parks are available in suburbs. Sometimes kids get together for play dates if they are small and are located in long distances. Older kids play in school grounds or parks.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: blue;">Parent teacher meetings</span></b><br />
<br />
These are referred to as conferences. Elementary has parent teacher conferences year round. Some middle and high schools don't have meeting dates. You can either mail teachers, give them a call during conference hours or fix an appointment to meet them<br />
<b><span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: blue;">Homework</span></b><br />
<div>
<b><span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div>
<span style="color: black;">Elementary kids have very less homework compared to India. In Middle school, the homework load starts increasing and high school is similar to India.</span></div>
<div>
Indian parents love to have more homework for kids. Competition is paramount here also. Some parents just leave it to the school work.</div>

<b><span style="color: blue;">Q. How are the schools in US divided?</span></b><br />
<br />
Most of the public schools in America are divided into elementary, middle and high school.<br />
Elementary - Pre-K, K, till grade 5 or 6<br />
Middle School - Grade 6 or 7 till 8<br />
High School - Grade 9 to 12<br />
<br />
Private schools and charter schools might have all the grades.<br />
<b></b><br />
<b><span style="color: blue;">Q. What is the curriculum in US?</span></b><br />
<br />
Most of the states in US follow the Common Core Curriculum. Some of the states like Oklahoma, Texas, Virginia, Alaska, Nebraska, Indiana, and South Carolina follow their own syllabus.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: blue;">Q. How is the homework load in schools?</span></b><br />
<br />
Homework is less compared to schools in India. Once kids start their high school courses, the homework is pretty much the same. You can expect a heavy workload in high school<br />
Charter and private school work loads might be a bit higher.<br />
<b></b><br />
<b><span style="color: blue;">Q. How are students evaluated?</span></b><br />
<br />
The system looks at continuous evaluation. All the work done in school and home is evaluated. There are also semester exams from middle school sometimes. Quizzes, projects, homework, unit tests comprise the assessment list. Depending on each state, the states test the students like a common state test from grade 3 till high school.<br />
The state tests are like the public exams of the Indian school system.<br />
<br />
The state tests might be used for evaluation of schools and teachers. <br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: blue;">Q. What are the subjects in elementary school?</span></b><br />
<br />
The students have English(Language Arts), Math, Science and Social Studies. They will have gym or PE everyday.<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b></b><br /></span>
<b><span style="color: blue;">Q. How is the school atmosphere is elementary?</span></b><br />
<br />
The atmosphere is mostly friendly. Mostly a single teacher is assigned to a class and they handle all the subjects except PE. They get to know the students well.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><span style="color: blue;">Q. About the teacher interaction in elementary?</span></b><br />
<br />
Many schools have websites or many send paper newsletters home. The syllabi covered or work done will be notified in the newsletter. Parent - Teacher conferences are held through the year. You can fix appointments with the teacher or you can email them. Most of them are prompt to reply.<br />

Have you looked at your child's handwriting and felt it to be terrible? Has your child not learnt cursive properly?<br />
<br />
My child never learnt <b>cursive handwriting</b> in school. When I changed schools during class 1, the new school was already into it.<br />
We have been trying to get him to write better, but it never improved. We tried worksheets, cursive books. It was always between block lettering and cursive.<br />
<br />
It's been a few years now and I thought this summer might be the right time to properly reinforce the skill. So devoid of any school interruptions, I was looking at various websites and finally we have made good progress due to the "<b>HEV Project</b>".<br />
<br />
The youtube videos go progressively and should be of great help.<br />
We used it with a single line notebook and used up 3 lines for the writing. Then at the end, we adjusted our space to a single line.<br />
<br />
Hope this helps those kiddos!<br />

It's been a painful experience reading the newspapers regarding the torture little kids have gone through in Bangalore. What pains more, is the insensitive nature of the schools towards the scenario and their failure to take appropriate measures to curb such acts.<br />
<br />
For future parents, I am posting and continue to do so, the schools which have failed to be earnest in their behavior.<br />

Hats off to all of the supporters, parents who got together to fight against what had been done to a small child. A school by protecting its sinful staff is putting the rest of the kids in danger. Is a school's name more important than a child's life?</div>

It was a shocking news when I read today's paper. The headlines of a small child being raped on school permises by the gym staff (Vibgyor School near Varthur and Kundanahalli ) and the irresponsibility of the school administration is just not tolerable. Who knows how many children have been affected and how many complaints have proved ineffective against the staff.</div>

Hi All,<br />
For all those who have been threatening this site with their legal notices please read on.<br />
<br />
This site is a platform for parents to vent their woos and suggestions.<br />
Schools have not been providing a platform for parents to express their concerns, that's why they are taking it out on the school in such forums.<br />
<br />
I hope instead of threatening me with legal notices, you can take action on your school personnel and bring about a change in the environment of your school.<br />
This will go towards a long way in making your school a better place for children.<br />
<br />
The mentality of your staff is going get imprinted in the child's mind studying in your school.If the admin itself is not in a proper state to hande affairs, how can parents come forward?<br />
<br />
If I take out all the comments of your school, the same thing is going to get repeated over again.<br />
Finally parents are going to resort to other websites for venting out.<br />
<br />
Schools are forgetting the impact of social media nowadays.<br />
I hope instead of sending me all those emails, please read the comments of parents and take action in that direction.<br />

Hi, It's the time of the year when parents are looking out for their kids. It's the exam season in most parts of the world also. I had been scouring the web looking for good grammar links and books.<br />
<br />
The good old days of "Wren and Martin" are over now and I just could not seem to find a good book.<br />
I came upon a book by Wren by it was just filled with exercises.<br />
<br />
Finally I have got some of the best grammar practise books with instructions, that parents might want to download. Its from Mc Millan publishers and you can access it at:<br />
<br />
http://www.mhschool.com/reading/treasure_workbooks/national.html<br />
<br />
The grammar books starts off very methodically from the basics. All the mechanics of a particular grammar topic are covered. It has lots of exercises and kids will really get the hang of it.<br />
( But maybe if your kid is in grade 4, you might need to see the grade 3 book.)<br />
<br />
The link contains spelling practise books also.<br />
Hope you find the great books as good starters and they work out as worksheets too.<br />

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.

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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
