New Baldwin Residential School

Not a good choice. I chose this school just bec it is nearby for me but the way the teaching is done, the way they handle kids are not good. My daughter studied in Hello kids initially and she studied nursery and LKG. Since they don’t have UKG, I had to put her in Baldwin. Guess what! it was not even 15 days of school and teacher came up with complaint on my daughter. If teacher has to speak to parents, it has to be mentioned in school diary and that is what diary is meant for. This teacher is informing the auto driver to inform us. First, the drivers are not educated and they don't get what teacher is information. They come and inform us in a different way. Then we need to take leave (unplanned) and meet them. The complaint about my daughter is "she is writing very slowly, she does not know joint hand writing, she does not know cursive handwriting”. Wow! That was nice. They expect a child who is just 4.5 yrs. and studying in UKG to do wonders in 15 days. The worst part was that one day, since she was writing slowly, they have not given her time to eat. My daughter gets picked up by 7.40 AM and she does not eat anything in the morning because she is not used to eating so early. They didn't give her time to eat in the class and poor kid has to come home at 12.30 PM and eat. Well!!!!!!!! This is not acceptable. For those who prefer money first, both mom and dad are working, and they don't want their kids to disturb them, they are least bothered how their kid is in school, so school management works on its own. One person goes and complaints about all this, they don’t bother. These people don’t even maintain things. During admission, they asked photos. I had given 10 photos during admission. While collecting the books, they said that we need to submit 9 photos during the first week of school. I had given photos on the first day itself. Now again after 2 weeks of school, teacher has informed to get photos (again the communication is thru driver) and we had to give photos. Not sure why these many photos. They can’t just maintain this, and they want us to take photo every week is not acceptable. Again, if kids are going to toilet, Aayas are supposed to go with the kid so that kids don't slip and fall, they don’t wet their dress, but here they just go leave them and come back and sit and chit chat. But for me, more than my work, my daughter is very important. I thought not to start giving feedback which will affect my daughter and they will start neglecting my daughter but after seeing all this, I am going to give a feedback. They should also improve from their end. I had just paid 35K in Hello kids and it was like heaven. Every day, teachers used to hold the hands of kids and take them to class room. The caring was so good. Here I am paying 86K without transport and it’s not that great. Kids has to take the stairs on their own and go to class room. Most of the time, my daughter will be the first to enter the class and the teacher will come only after that. So many things to check. I think each and every parent should ask their kid what happens in school every day so that we will know the true color. I have even heard that they beat kids which is not acceptable. We get to know only when we ask the kids couple of times. May be, teachers scare them not to tell parent and the kids are scared to inform parents. Well! My daughter is very important for me than anything else. I will have to prove that I am responsible by questioning them. I think until we raise our voice, they will be like this.
