My child turns 4 years this academic year and we are starting the school search in JP Nagar, Bengaluru. I keep hearing that some schools open forms much earlier than parents expect. When did you begin visits and what should we finish before applications open?
We asked what happens when a child is struggling, not just what happens to top performers. The answer told us more about the school culture than the brochure did. I wish we had asked this before paying the registration amount. I would still test it for a short period before making a long commitment.
I agree with this. Once we reduced the number of moving parts, everyone became calmer. For us, the admission office answer and the parent answer were not always the same. Your child's response may be different, but this was our experience.
Thank you. I like that this does not require changing everything at once. We found this out only after doing a second school visit. We made the change gradually rather than all at once.
Could you share what you would do differently if you were starting again? For us, the admission office answer and the parent answer were not always the same. In our house, the practical routine mattered more than the ideal plan.
