Sir,

I would like to draw your kind attention towards the high­handedness of the school authorities towards the ad­mission process. In fact, the very act of interviewing the parent leaves a lot to be desired. It is not only irritating for the parent to be interviewed by the principal, who himself may not be worth the post; but also extremely disgust­ing. The main function of the rigmarole is to find out the financial strength rather than educating their ward. Moreover, rarely the admissions are based on merit, ei­ther it is on the basis of clout or donations.

The schools have become money making institutions. Most of the schools have sub-standard teachers, as teaching has become a part-time job. Extra-curricular activities are nil and there is a function every month for which the stu­dent is fleeced for money. It would be quite appreciable, if the department of education takes a tough stand against these schools, and spare the parents and their wards, of the mental anguish dished out by the schools.
