2·22 Sept 2026·on does an older sibling in the school actually help with lkg admission?

Here in Hyderabad our school gave sibling preference, but the younger one still had to do the interaction like everyone else. It helped, but it was not automatic. Pune schools might do it differently, so I would still apply at one or two other places, just to be safe.

2·22 Aug 2026·on Thinking about Harrow School in Abids for class 8, if my office moves to that side

That's the hole in the plan, yes. The hybrid days. I haven't solved it. Probably the transport question matters more than the test. I'll call the school office once our move date is real.

Ha, I'm on a night incident call so reading everything right now. Fair point. If he comes with me we'd have to leave before 7, which might be the only way this works at all.

3·29 Jul 2026·on Not telling our 5 yr old yet. He found my pregnancy vitamins and wants to know if I'm sick

neighbours yes, but the bigger risk is phone calls. my son at that age listened to every call even when he looked busy with lego. if anyone in the family calls about the pregnancy, take it on the balcony

2·16 Jul 2026·on How much games time do the middle classes get at SR Digi School, Vanasthalipuram?

The second question is a good one, I wouldn't have thought to ask it that way. Will report back if they give me a straight answer.

2·16 Jul 2026·on How much games time do the middle classes get at SR Digi School, Vanasthalipuram?

That's exactly the slide I'm worried about. This time I'll ask to see a class 8 timetable, not just the ground.

3·14 Jun 2026·on Online 'pre-college' certificate from a foreign university. Has anyone's teen done one?

Mine is younger, but these emails have started for class 8 also. 'Young scholars programme'. Asalu, who is giving them our email IDs?

1·18 Apr 2026·on MYP to IGCSE at the International School of Hyderabad. How hard is the switch for a 13 year old?

Can't help on MYP to IGCSE, we're CBSE. On the drive, I've done Puppalaguda to the Patancheru side on the ORR a few times for office work, around 7.45 in the morning. Smooth every time. Coming back around 4 or 5 was a different story 🙂 Also, friends moving is a big reason at 13. My babu is the same about class 8, every school he likes is the one his friends are looking at.
