This school doesn't even deserve a single star. This is the worst school I've ever been to. All my friends currently studying in this school relate it to the underworld. I quote my friend studying in this school,'They merrily produce machines.' The teachers are really rude; they don't consider the students' doubts or questions. Students can't wave 'Hi' to the teachers or greet them in any form; at the same time, if students don't say 'Good Morning' to the teachers, they'll be scolded. Teachers won't respond even if properly greeted, what kind of ill relationship is this? How do students expect to look up to school with this kind of relationship. Another thing is, the books given to students are completely incorrect. Students are expected to mug up and vomit on tests, if they don't stick to the exact writings (even the conjunctions) in the book, they won't get marked. Moreover, they're not free to express their thoughts and opinions. Students aren't given any holidays. I heard that their annual exam holidays were merely four days (for eleventh graders) and they have tons of tests (to name a few: morning tests, evening tests, cyclic tests, periodic tests, revision tests, termly tests, surprise tests, monthly tests, weekly tests, honest tests). How can you expect a normal human being to be in proper shape after forced to go through all of this? The school doesn't even give importance to extra-curricular activities. They don't have Library periods or Physical Education periods. And all that I've listed is for mainly high-schoolers. It makes me wonder how the kids are treated. Teachers still practice physical abuse. Mostly, the subject teachers. There is also a lot of favoritism and impartiality. Teachers brings in a lot of politics when it comes to their relationship with students. If you're a teacher's pet, it doesn't matter how late you come to a class or how wrong your answers are. You'll still be given full attendance and full marks. High-schoolers have Sunday classes too. And there is also a lot of divide between boys and girls. How can a school proclaim itself to be co-ed and yet threaten students TC if they talk to a person of the opposite gender? I don't understand how this school got so many five-star reviews. I look at these reviews and wonder if they were paid to publish them. Or maybe the school hadn't always been like that before. But what matter is what's happening now and I surely won't recommend any parent to enroll their kids in this he*l-hole. This is coming from a former student and if that doesn't say things about this school, I don't know what will.
