Everybody knows the value of a school, but many a times, parents who themselves desired to study in a good school, but couldn't don't want their child to miss out on good opportunities that come their way. How likely of parents. But alas! Schools don't seem to think along those lines at all. Schools open their wholesale trade of forms not knowing what they're going to get but make sure the process is filtered with their own whims and fancies mixed with a few rules. Spelt out, the rules for the Indian Nursery System are full of points. A school was said to have given a prospective student 10 points for being a girl child, 20 points for having a sibling in the same school already, and ten points for choosing to apply at a neighbourhood school, and 20 points for a parent being an alumni. Infact the DOE has also given schools an upper hand to add on to some more points provided the DoE was intimated. Parents feel, the confusion over the point system is an addition to the existing chaos. Anxious parents ponder over an uncertain future with the points system that no one knows whether a school even considers seriously when a child is selected. That does sound like a valid point! Do schools make rules to eventually break them? "What does a parent's education have to do with a child scoring a few points" asked a parent who didn't have the backing of an IIT or an IIM, but wanted his child to study in a good school- something that he couldn't get in his lifetime! A lot of parent's feel that point is irrelevant and shouldn't make much of a difference as long as the parent isn't an illiterate. It's time for the DoE, to answer parents on that issue please.
