Your comment is very valid. There seems to be absolutely no attention to English as the primary medium of communication in the classrooms. And that causes significant issues for the students in later life. Marks alone will not get you anywhere these days. It can get your degrees on paper, but not the better job opportunities. Neither can marks help the individuals get appreciation and promotions in their careers.
The second aspect is discipline. There seems to be almost none these days, especially in the higher classes.
The reason that website/forum was started is that discussions on QL tend to disappear from view (and people's memory) really fast. Putting it all one place would really allow for some history to be built, which can by easily searched and commented on.
I heard recently that one enthusiastic member of the management committee took it upon himself to improve the quality of academics. But the other "historical" members felt that had this worked out well, the credit would go to one person and they would look like idiots, so they torpedoed the whole effort. It was funny to hear that the "circular" informing students about a special training session (by an eminent personality brought in from India) did not go out until the same day of the event ! So much is the "crabs in the same bucket" situation there (no crab escapes because the others pull them down!). This management committee member resigned from this position a few days back, is what we heard last on the topic. Looks like no one is really interested in the betterment of the standards.
Same crab situation with teachers also :( If one teacher learns that a student seeks after class tuition from another teacher for the same subject, that student is literally suffocated in the class. This whole "home-based" tuition system is another root cause for all the evil.
Overall, lots of issues. And many people here on QL still say it is the best school. Can't imagine how they cannot see how fast things are deteriorating !
Kids have some hope if the parents are diligent about speaking good English at home. Otherwise, it looks like a lot of people need to pray for a miracle !
