Thanks for the links, Usha! The articles are really interesting and definitely changes the view that we normally look at international schools!

Kalyani, the problem with most people is that they fail to see the all round implications .There is no point in arguing with them when they fail to see that there are advantages as well...

Yes you do have a point here! I think the tendency to condemn certain things is a fashion with many, so the moment we hear the words like sophisticated, international, etc. most people start thinking they are related to words like snobs, high-fi etc. which is what most of the criticism is about!!

Exactly ! It may be the case with some but that can happen anywhere in local schools as well if the children come from more affluent backgrounds.I have seen teachers making much of such students and giving them special care and attention..

True. Actually the teachers should not be influenced by such factors, they should be completely unbiased but then, life is such! But I feel that it does affect children who do not get similar attention!

Yes, it can give a complex to other children especially the economically weaker ones, who are normally looked down by teachers in most schools! We have to set things right at that level before concentrating on other issues like International schools which are anyway not meant for everyone ....

this statement is not true.That if a child reads in well cultured school those child will become well cultured.Its true that learning in good school one can learn well cultured.But main thing is that child should also learn proper discipline from their parents.

I believe that the learning or applying culture in real life comes from within. It is natural. A person, who has studied in well cultured school, could be bad man in future.

I think yes, the atmosphere certainly has its values. One can see the changes of good public schools and students coming from free government schools from rural areas. Then of course up bringing is also responsible.

The environment would be different in expensive school, but i think the same manner could also be learned in inexpensive schools as well.

I am not sure if one can learn the same in a village primary school what one learns in Sherwood at Nainital or Doon school at Dehradun.

School don't make child to be well culture.Many children who read in good school are very indiscipline.They even don't know how to talk with their elders.

Schools are not a big issue.I think study depends on the student.Beside parents should guide their children properly.

Its not that people believe kids will learn more cultured in an average schools too they can learn.

Yes I agree with you. He/she may learn discipline from good schools but their mind may not work for the benefit of the society.

Yes you have point. The quality of student will vary. It depends on the teaching, level of subject books taught, and environments and discipline of the school. Life of the student will be much better if he gets education from good expensive and international school.

Schools are not a big issue.I think study depends on the student.Beside parents should guide their children properly.

A student learn discipline first at home. He learns it again from his teachers at school. Thus guidance from both sides are important.

Many parents believe, if we teach our kid in a high standard school, he will develop good qualities and become a good citizen. Also, he will reach high positions easily. But, i can't fully agree with it as I believe, we should teach our kids in normal schools where normal kids study. Otherwise, in future they will turn more high-fi and may find a little difficult to mingle with the society. What do you think?

I think a Student's Culture is more important. How their Parents gives Culture to their Child is important. Child behavior doesn't depends on School.

Child's behaviour gets change if he gets good teacher. Education is given more stress in schools. Besides education school also teach manners and extra curriculum activities.

Many parents admit their words in high fai school to show the prestige also.

Yes, giving more preference to prestige than kid's ambitions and talent is the root cause of all such evils :evil: :evil: :S

Unless and untill a child scores good marks and learn to be presentable, he won't be able to make his career at the best. Everybody wants to give their child the best. Everybody wants to seen their children getting degrees from Oxford and other famous international Universities. This is possible if student has talent. Talent makes them feel prestigious in the society. I don't think their parents are wrong.

Normal children also study in high standard schools.

The motive of human being is development. If people wants to develop, he should. Becoming High-figh is nothing but development. There is no harm in becoming great.

I believe in simple living and high thinking. Development makes our thinking high and better than others.
