Sri Sankara School, Adyar, Bad example

Today I went to Sri Sankara School Adyar. lachu's name is not even in the waiting list.

I dont know what is the criteria of selection.

We were called to school at 10am... and we were called for interview only at 12, and then the child failed at the interview (?)

They could have
- called only those who were shortlisted based on some criteria
- or could have done first-come-first

Chettinad Vidyashram school follows first-come-first.

St.Johns where lachu has got admission letter selects based on the following criteria
- location preference
- Parent's job ( eg:defence personnel has highest priority)
- girl child preference
- Parent's education etc

Whether the other criteria are good or not --- a selection based on interview for LKG students is STUPID!

There have been cases and judgement against this sort of practice in recent time - see reports

Now wait and see for St.Johns! Good luck to me!
