Which school would you prefer?

It depends on the budget these days not on the reputation of the school as in Delhi all the schools almost have same education system but the fee structure they differ hugely. :evil:

Well, I think parents should choose the school as per present condition not as per past reputation and all that. If school having good teaching staff right now then they should go for it.

I would choose the best, no matter what the fees is.I would choose as per the present condition and not for the past reputation.

If there are options before you - a well-known school of international reputation, but parents prefer this school only because of its past reputation and the school is losing the academic spark or a newly established school but it doesn't have the same aura as the previous school, which one would you prefer for your kids?

I'm of the firm belief even if I admit in an internationally reputed school, if i don't play my role as a parent in the house, nothing is going to work. I also believe there is no better school than the home and there are no better teachers than parents.

Yes, education has become very costly. And some people really have to compromise on that and not the reputation, as you pointed that out.

I totally agree with you, Anand. Even new schools that are establishing or are not that popular yet, deliver the goods. Today, the brand-name should be given less importance by parents too.

It is better to go to the best school which provide a good education. It changes students future.

I had studied in one of the best school which my parent had taken the admission. But in case of my Son I have not taken him the admission in the same school that I had studied. But I had taken him another school - Boys school

I will admit my kids in the school where teaching quality is good. Students will become smart and clever, well behaved and well mannered.

I totally agree with you. Parents are getting more active along with their children in schools. Even they are interviewed these days before admitting their kids in schools.

I too feel the same. One should not ride on the pas reputation as it is not always going to come true for the future generations too. I will research the school a bit before I admit my kid to such a school. After all, it is fine in a democratic country like India.

I would definitely go for the first one since it has already been tested and is bound to be better than the one that has just started.I know for a fact that a school has to establish itself and the staff and the management learn quite a lot before they get all their acts together, so new school needs time to gain a reputation !

Yes, that's rightly pointed out, Devyani. Kids need to be well mannered and well behaved. They first need to be taught that elders should be respected. They should be able to present themselves well in the society

Yes. But new schools can deliver the goods to gain. Though it takes time for gaining reputation, we also need to look into the services. If the education level is high, it should not make any difference if the school is new.

Not necessarily and definitely not in our country where a school is put together in the last minute in a hurry without the proper infra structure in place and very average faculty since most trained and experienced teachers dont want to work in new schools, so it needs time before it comes up to a certain standard !

I guess, you have a valid point there. Experienced teachers might not prefer working in new schools. However, retired professors and quality teachers are preferred in new schools due to their experience.

Being in the close proximity some of the schools (A copy writer) parrot the spicy and juicy COPY coined by me. Most of the owners are illiterates. Education is a business for them. I know none of their tall claims are true. They throw the bait to the parents. And most of the parents as expected bite the bait. The unsuspected parents will be in the illusion that their children are studying in Oxford
