Yes, of course there is personal interest, it is the betterment of the school where my kid(s) and many others that are friends and relatives are going to.
If you look at the forum, initially all the posts were about issues/changes. When the managements attitude is the cause of a large majority of issues, how can we have any discussion without mentioning about their decisions ? They are the ones who were doing it a whole lot better earlier, and now seem to have dropped the ball on the quality of the school.
When the management turns their face away from anyone who raised issues to them (yes, I have tried, others I know have tried, and some members of management have tried), then what else can we talk about except how core decisions of the management like "not maintaining teacher to student ratio" are affecting the quality ?
In the very first post, it was made clear that this is not about bashing individuals, as we all know this is a collective responsibility issue. Only when asked "have you tried talking to them?" that other comments about management were made, about how they are not taking solid steps to improve the situation.
All major issues/changes that the school really needs have been put (in numbered fashion) on the forum. And this is based on feedback from other parents (a very small number) who we could reach out to (although they do not know a forum would be created with the feedback). Feedback from some teachers are also part of the issues raised.
At the very least, the existence of such a forum should be an eye-opener, or that is our firm belief. It does not matter if it does not have tons of people actively discussing issues, although the impact of such discussion would be great !
Finally, none of this is inside info. If you take a few days to befriend anyone at the school, you can hear about all these issues from practically anyone there. In fact, you don't have to befriend any one, just try talking about your suggestions to anyone and you will see the outpouring of issues !
