The fact is that students can get confused (only one out of many exams has a shorter duration), that is why teachers announce it in the classes (and even during transport, as some other schools did). But the bigger issue is the attitude of the school authorities as if they did nothing wrong about sending out a wrong circular (which is scanned and posted on the fixmes.com site).
It is the same attitude on everything.. "we have been doing this for 30+ years, so we know what is best" ! They seem to completely oblivious to the fact that the standards of the school have really deteriorated, and their response is as if people are just spreading baseless rumours !
And then there is people people like s_isale, who do not seem to have any first hand information of what is going on there, including the fact that even the few members of management who can see the writing on the wall and are/were keen about putting in efforts to salvage the situation are washing their hands of any hope of bringing positive change there.
The latest fiasco is that the KG section was to be moved to another building, there by freeing up classrooms for the other classes. Admissions were taken based on that calculation, and the new KG facility is now said to be no where near completion ! End result... portocabins being installed, and additional benches and desks in already crowded classes ! From what I heard, there will be 48 to 49 students in every division of class 5 in this new year. So instead of improving the student-teacher ratio, the school is going backwards :(
Anyone is welcome to verify this information with the school authorities !
It is just sad to see an uptight bunch of folks ruining an institution like this.
@ deepb - LOL !
