Overall SFS ~ DPSGV....Check on distance as well and what kind of school you feel more comfortable with- convents are high on discipline and public schools for exposure to outside world interns of competitions, trips etc.

Dear All,

We had our DPSN interaction today at 7:40 AM. We reached by 7:35 and already a long queue of parents was there waiting on the road to go inside but gates were not open yet. Parents had to sign on a sheet to indicate they have arrived for the interaction.

At around 7:55AM, gates were opened and we all moved inside where again there was a long queue and every parents had to deposit Rs1000 against which they gave a small prospectus booklet and had to give photos of parents & child.

It was a long wait there. They had a small snacks table with chips & juices which you can buy. They had placed the table so strategically that every child will see that first and definitely ask to buy :-).

Next we were given a questionnaire and I could see that those 2 questions in the form were different from what yesterday's parents had got. For us they were the following:

1. If you both are working parents then how would you manage time with your child for good parenting?

2. What values would you inculcate in your child?

Next, a teacher was calling names of children and children had to go inside a room where there were many round tables with lots of activity kits on them. My daughter did not go alone so her father accompanied her inside. There a teacher was interacting her one to one on a table. She asked many .. or I would say too many activities to be performed which includes the following:

a. Tell a rhyme

b. identify colors

c. Replicate a color pattern

d. Teacher showed some items on a book and then turned it upside down and asked to recall what items were there

e. There is a scenery and small magnetic items separately placed like rainbow, boat, car, house. Child has to place each item at its correct place like rainbow in sky, etc

f. put beads in a string

g. color a flower

h. identify animals in a book

Above were those which happened in front of her father. After that father came out and my daughter was still inside for some more time. Don't know what all was asked during that. In all it took around 25-30 minutes.

My daughter did well in some of the above activities but got confused in few. Don't know how the teacher will be evaluating but personally I felt it was too much to be expected from a 3 year old child.

Then all parents were moved to AV room and we were asked to wait there for our turn for Principal's interaction.

That was the longest wait as it was too hot inside the AV room and around 40 minutes of wait there made kids cranky and uncomfortable (also since session was from 7:40AM so kids already were feeling asleep by 9:30AM)

Then parents in the batch of 6 at a time were called for Principal's interaction where principal and one more teacher were sitting in a conference room and all parents had to sit in front of her on a round table.

Parents were asked to introduce themselves one by one and meanwhile Principal had form of every child and she was writing some comments on that form. I could see she wrote qualifications of a mother when the mother mentioned the same.

We came out by 10:20 AM and now waiting for results on 26th Sep after 5PM.

My daughter has till now cleared all schools where we had applied which includes Amity, APJ and Cambridge but this DPSN was too exhaustive. My personal feeling at this point of time is like all other schools were state level engineering exams and this DSPN was like IIT :-D

Thanks Shilpi. Irony is we all want our child to study in DSPN but look at the way they are conducting the admissions. They want to take prodigies but there's no guarantee in return that they are going to harness them to reproduce best of the results in future. I am sure post 10th standard they again pick and choose and they would let go off students who they think will not add to their results and take students from outside. Whether my child is selected or not is another issue but this is very disappointing approach. A school should ideally claim of converting average students to laurels but here the situation is they want laurels right from the start so that they can claim their legacy! And if a child "chooses" to be an average performer in future they'll take no time in "disowning" their chosen laurel!

I totally agree with every word of yours SuC.

What a Thought SuC.. Totally Agree. +1

Schools wants a "born with Golden Spoon" child. They want Savant from the beginning. But ideally they should work on average students to convert them into Scholars.
