The school is only worried about scoring an 90%+. By stressing and Pressurizing both the parent and the child and will stop at nothing to reach the school goals of getting an 100% in the boards , at whatever the cost of the child. The overall welfare of the child is neglected in the process. As a local school claiming to be international, they have very few good teachers on board, and also doing the 9th std portions in 8th grade, there by overloading the kids and not teaching them the basic of science, hence their foundation is not strong, there by losing confidence in studies, all of this for what? for the school's 10th grade boards?
