Nursery Admissions in Delhi NCR 2024-25

But sorry, I take offense in what you said, especially where you asked the rest of the parents to use their brains and stuff like basket on the upper floor etc. I'm not saying GIIS is not a good school. It is definitely a great school, which even I would have considered had it not been some 12km from our place.

However, I would say parents who are trying for the likes of DPS or Amity are no fools either. Every parent has certain parameters on the basis of which he/she decides which is the best school for their kids--let's not judge them for this.

Also, parents always think what is best for their children. None of us are experts of parenting. We are doing what, as per our understanding, is good for our kids. Many of us will succeed, some may/may not fail. But at least we all would learn something. My parents, for example, made me change quite a few schools. They thought that would do me good.

And I don't think any parent in today's times would think that getting an admission in a big school is the end of their responsibility. Everyone understands that no matter which school your child goes into, you will have to get yourself involved with your child.

So I would say, instead of judging others or rubbing our choices on others' faces, let parents take a call on which school to go with and which to reject. This forum has shown us the positives and negatives of almost all schools. Now it's up to us which to enrol our kids into.

I agree Neha Gupta. Every school is same yet different and so is every child - same but different. And we are all following parenting basis our understanding and learnings - we can't claim that my parenting is better than yours or for that matter my parent's parenting was better than mine or vice versa. So I believe every parent here is an equal participant and has been using brains and emotions equally to decide what's best for their kids. Even if anyone doesn't agree with a DPS or an Amity that doesn't make these schools bad either similarly nobody, who is happy with traditional schools, is against the Modern schools - it's just about your opinion, choices, judgement and constraints and we have to respect that. Every parent whose child is doing good as per their "definition" would call the school best (where the child is enrolled in) so let's not get judgemental about opinions. I haven't seen the moderator or Sakshi commenting for or against the schools themselves or their approaches - they also point to the discussions and feedback and asked to judge by themselves. We all want best and are using our 'brains' for sure :) No offense and no pun here to you or Priyanka Mahajan :) It's democracy and every one is voicing opinions :D

Hi Sunita and Neha,

It was my judgement and i said that...very clearly...and that is only for nursery class...you can read above... whatever school you choose ,if you think is better as per your priority ,then go ahead...

This is just for them who has lost their hopes if they are not selected in traditional schools ...thatz it..i never said that this school is good ...and that is bad...again it comes with a selection criteria which not only schools should fallow but parents should also fallow...this is where i said use your brains for best of your kid

No offense to anyone...whatever u chooses must be best...and wish that for everyone coz every kid is special to their parents

Hi Priyanka,

I'm also a parent like everyone else here and never projected myself as a spokesperson for the likes of DPS or Amity. I also never said not getting into these schools is the end of the world.

Also, who else would better understand the pain of rejection other than a mother whose otherwise brilliant child didn't get through so many schools only because of her speech not yet fully developed? But now when I see her getting selected in a couple of 'big' schools, I do feel proud of her and, somewhere on the back of my mind, also thank these schools.

All I wanted to say was that each parent has his/her own criteria and, needless to say, they all use their brains when deciding for their child's future.

Hi Neha,

Your words "But now when I see her getting selected in a couple of 'big' schools, I do feel proud of her and, somewhere on the back of my mind, also thank these schools"..it means if she got selected in "BIG" schools on the school selection criteria ....you are proud of them...and if she would not have been selected then you would not be? it is the case with you and what about those who are not selected so they should disown their kids and feel bad about the kid.

That is where i am asking to use brains...thatz it...coz what kid will do is not only school,....and not the end of this world......this was my point dear .....

However it is individual decision to do best of their kid and one thing more if we all get together against this selection criteria (which is not scientifically proven will tell the worth of kid )then things might change....then these so called BIG schools will call us...so that it is just a click to change...which can do wonders...if we are together.

Coz without kids ,these schools cant do anything.....feel bad for the school where your application is not selected as our all kids are brilliant and to be proud of.

Hi Priyanka,

It's not that I won't have felt proud of my daughter had she not been selected in these 'big' schools. I know her strengths and I love her for the way she is.

And I've very much used my brains to shortlist the schools for her. It's a result of our so many months of research.

I only wanted to say now I feel happy for my daughter that these couple of schools were able to look beyond the minor issue she has. Even if she were not selected anywhere, I definitely won't have disowned her. Neither I would expect that from any parent.

I had, in fact, made up my mind to let her do her Nursery and Prep from her playschool and then try for 1st grade admissions after two years. I would have been more than okay with that. But now that she has been shortlisted in a couple of these schools, I'm happy that she can start with them in her initial years.

Lastly, I would reiterate no parent decides for his/her child without 'using brains'. We all are trusting whatever little understanding we have to decide what is best for our kids.
