Schools ‘interview’ kids, parents

Parents continue to face hard time as schools once again ignored the nursery admission guidelines issued by the Directorate of Education (DoE). Specifically, refusing the application of children based on parents’ qualifications and job profile. Many schools, rebelling against the DoE guidelines are interviewing the parents and children, while asking the families to return to the schools on specific dates for further ‘interactions’.
Father of a three-year-old from West Delhi area said, “On Saturday, when the Sapling School in Paschim Vihar called us with our son, we expected it to be a normal verification process. But we were shocked with the outcome, as the school authorities ended up taking a formal interview of ours”. The father added that the interaction seemed like a job interview and that he is scared if other schools too will follow the suit.
While the DoE guidelines were meant to protect the parents from such things, many parents feel let down and harassed from it. One such parent, who was called for an interaction said, “I had been called for an interaction session by a reputed school in West Delhi, as I had not taken my child for the session. The school asked me to return with my child. Although my child was not interviewed, his activities were continuously being monitored and the teachers took notes regarding this.”
Similarly, another parent from North Delhi area felt cheated, when a well known school from Rohini asked him to deposit `200 for the form. The parent said, “I have also been told by the school that I along with my ward will be called for an interaction after January 15”. The DoE guidelines clearly state that schools are not allowed to interview neither the parents nor their wards in any part of the nursery admission process.
Meanwhile, some schools have decided to cut short the time period allotted to parents for sale and submission of the forms, causing the parents to much distress. A parent from Nangloi area said, “I am wondering what the Government is actually doing. The schools are going on violating one norm after another. St Francis, Janakpuri out rightly denied the form on Saturday saying that they would not sell any more forms. How can they give us so less time for buying the forms? Has not the DoE mentioned in its guidelines that the schools are supposed to sell the forms till January 15”?
It is pertinent to mention that the time for sale and submission of nursery forms has already been shortened by 15 days as compared to last year’s procedure. Notably, St Francis School, Janakpuri has already been sent a notice by the DoE earlier in regards to violation of norms for nursery admissions.
Deputy Directors of Education will be present in their offices in every district from 10 am to 1 pm till January 15 to address the complaints of parents regarding schools flouting DoE guidelines. Parents can communicate their grievances through the DoE website.

I completely agree with Seema...I also belong to dwarka and purchased forms costing Rs 500/- schools like ITL is giving form for Rs. 525/-. Also they are giving CD's of their schools...why do we need all these things untill and unless our kids got admission in these schools...

vasant valley has asked all parents to come for verification of documents even before declaring the admission list...this is clearly an attempt to filter the children. infact they have put the interaction date on their website. the link is given below.
http://www.vasantvalley.org/vasantvalley/admit2011/fnd_verify_08012...
also bhatnagar international has hand delivered letters to the parents asking them to come to the school with their child. no reasons have been provided for this meeting / interaction. will send a scan of thaat letter by tomorrow. many others like kids way have also followed this practice and infact have indicated parents to pay a substantial amount in cash to block the seat even before the admission list is declared

I had applied for Maxfort Dwarka and yesterday had a "Parent Interaction" with them....
Before entering the interaction room a guard make sure that I do not enter with my mobile phone, wrist watch and car keys...
During the interaction they just asked me wheather I have applied in other schools aswell or not...
And told me to deposite Rs 20000/- (I will not get any receipt) in cash & the PDC for the admission + tution + transport fee (approx Rs 28000/-) to "RESERVE" the seat for my child....or I can wait for their list to see that my child did not get the admission in their school......:-)
They are openly selling the seats.......
Yesterday, I was confused what to do....as I am pretty sure that other parents will buy the seats.....
Today I decided to drop this school.....
