Colleague's son may join Rao's Techno School in Chandanagar for class 3, coming from an international school

One of the teachers at my school lives in Chandanagar and is tired of driving across the city twice a day with her son. Rao's Techno is close to her home. She asked if I knew anyone there. I don't, so I said I'd ask here. He's finishing class 2 in a Cambridge primary programme: lots of projects, very little written homework, no Telugu at all. She wants to know how much the written work and pace change for a child joining class 3 in a state board school, and whether children coming from international schools usually settle in the first term or take longer. He's a sociable boy, so friends aren't the worry. Notebooks are.

different jump for us, play-based preschool into cbse class 1. but the writing volume was the shock for him. two months of tears over notebooks, then fine. telugu would be the bigger gap for her boy i think

IB is all we've known with our son, so the switch itself is outside my experience. One suggestion: ask the school for a week of this year's class 3 homework and put it next to what he does now. The brochure describes the approach; the notebooks show the routine.

A practical point from the admissions side. International schools sometimes take a few weeks to issue the transfer certificate once the year closes, and June admissions can get held up waiting for it. She should request it now, even before she has decided.

I teach at an international school too. The children I've seen move to state board in early primary mostly found their feet by Dasara. What helped: some copying and short dictation a few days a week in May, and a tutor just for the Telugu alphabet before June. The one boy who struggled was the one whose parents kept telling him the new school would be 'much harder'. All the best to her ❤
