2on Thirty-five years in medicine, and my granddaughter's body parts worksheet came back 7 out of 10
I understand the key. What I don't understand is a question mark on a correct word. Either it's wrong or it isn't.
3on When do nursery children finish at Arohan The Complete School, and are they let out separately?
Ask who hands the child over at pickup and whether they keep a list of who is allowed to collect. At that age the handover is the part you'll deal with every single day.
2on Considering State Board for LKG for the first time. Shanti Vidya Niketan in Yousufguda?
At four, the board matters far less than the teacher and how many children are in the room. Ask about class size before anything else.
0on Who does balcony safety grills around Kondapur? Our baby will be crawling soon
Which balcony, the one off the bedroom or the living room? If the door can stay locked and the baby simply doesn't go out there, that costs nothing. Grills fail when the anchoring is poor. Ask who drills into the wall and how deep. The brochure figure for cable strength tells you very little.
1on Badminton court near Marredpally that can be booked by the hour on Sunday mornings
No idea about your side, I'm in Gachibowli. But what do you mean by membership? Most clubs that say members only will still sell a guest slot if you ask at the desk instead of reading the board. Go and ask in person.
2on gitanjali begumpet goes nursery to 12. did families who started in nursery stay all the way?
What decision are you making now? He isn't two. Most families I know who planned fifteen years ahead changed course by class 5 for reasons they couldn't have predicted: a job move, a child who wanted something else, a sibling. Look at the nursery and primary years properly and leave the rest.
0on Rain day turned into an online class at our place. How closely do you supervise a 7 year old?
At 7 the drawing is rarely listening. Ask him one question about the lesson at the break. You'll know.
6on she's told me to stop helping with her evs project. 'it has to look like a child made it'
My granddaughter said the same to her father last year. He sulked more than she did. Leave her to it, and look at it properly when it comes back marked.
Check the class 11 books against this year's list before anyone drives anywhere. If even two titles have changed, no class 11 student will take the set. Class 12 students sometimes want them for revision, though. Ask in your own building first.
0on My partner tutors our 7 year old at home, and she has started saying 'you're not my teacher'
Forty minutes at 7, after a full school day, is long. Make it twenty. And let her choose which of the two things she does first.
0on Looking at Shiva Sai Grammar High School in Boduppal for class 5, coming from ICSE
'I keep hearing' is carrying most of that sentence. Ask the school to show you a corrected class 5 answer sheet from last year with the name covered. In five minutes you'll see whether they mark for the textbook line or for understanding. That's worth more than anything said in this thread, mine included.
0on DP maths starts in July. Does she need an 'IB tutor', or will a good maths tutor do?
Ask them what 'IB specialist' means in their own words. Then ask to see a piece of work they marked against the IB criteria. If they can't show you one, you have your answer.
0on A school I work with has offered to 'find a seat' for our younger one. Should I take it?
'It will sort itself out' is a big assumption. What happens the first time she disagrees with this principal in a contract meeting while her son is in the school?
3on A school I work with has offered to 'find a seat' for our younger one. Should I take it?
Yes. And put it in writing that you declined the offer. Memories change when contracts come up for renewal.
0on carpenter around AS Rao Nagar who'll cut a study table down to kid height
How much shorter, and is it solid wood or board? Those are the first two things any carpenter will ask. Put them in the post and you'll get better answers.
2on Can I start a UKG enquiry at Mansura Cyber High School for my nephew before the family lands?
Agree on not waiting. But 'decide in advance whether you'd move him' needs a date attached. Until when? If nothing has opened by August, I would stop calling and let him settle.
0on Nursery forms with a page for parents on 'why this school'. Does anyone read it?
My guess: some schools use it to see how the parents write, and so how much help the child will get at home in English. Nothing like that is written down anywhere, so asking won't get you a straight answer.
4on kids' dentist near hafeezpet or miyapur for a 1 yr old's first check?
At that age it's mostly a look, a talk about brushing and night feeds, and getting the child used to the chair. Nothing dramatic. The point is that the first visit isn't for a problem. Wait till 3 and the first visit often is.
2on What should I be listening for when family praises pre-nursery at Academic Heights, Falaknuma?
Family praise is about one child and one teacher. Teachers move. Ask her which teacher it was and whether she is still there before you treat any of it as being about the school.
Before choosing: what do you need it to tell you that you wouldn't hear anyway? In most flats a crying five month old is audible from the next room. If the answer is peace of mind at 2 am, fine, but a simple audio monitor gives you that without any of the risks you're worried about.
