Hi Guys

I often keep telling my family that it would have been better if we had a first baby girl instead of a baby boy.

My son is really not aware that what injustice he has been going through, he is too young to understand that as per the norms and point system of DOE - he is last in the list.

I have a friend and look what he has for his child, he has been able to secure a seat in west delhi's best school SFS and also at St Columbus - being a religious minority. How would my child stand against him. They play together and have been playing together for a year now - but the difference has begun with his handful of options and my son being empty handed.

Can DOE answer whats the fault of my child that he is becoming a part of this social injustice.

Hi Angella

I truly believe that we have to fight/struggle whole life. But this struggle is more for our kids in each and every sphere - thanks to point based systems - DOE - corruption - stringent admission process - unfair business practices and what not.

But just imagine, my ward will not go to a good school (top ones), so he will not be in par with the kids of these big names. Even if we teach them to be fighters - we are losing fight each day - each day my ward goes to a normal school and the other kids go to some top ones.

Ultimately - few years down the line (in exams, competitive exams, professional courses, jobs, and most important life each day) , I will ask my kid to compete with these kids. So I will not be doing a justice as I know the difference was there right from the beginning. And I would expect to see results - would create pressure on my kid .....

Had he been given right thing at right time, no point of disparity would have come.

SPOC Jee

I really cannot explain what it feels if you are not able to send your child to a school of your liking.

Process of admission started from October - and till date I do not know how many sleepless nights I had.

Would have been better if I was economically weak or a minority or not been from West Delhi - at least could have given my ward a secured system for next 12 yrs ..

I know he may or may not do well in spite of a good school but at least if I could have been able to make him get thru in a good school - I would have done justification to my soul which would remain guilty conscious until and unless i get a good seat. Trauma is yet not over.

Dear Angella

Admission to good schools may not be the sole criteria, but it is a basic/first criteria that would give one a good assurance that he/she will be successful. Whether or not he/she is actually successful can never be known.

We all do a lot of investments in life but we do them today because we believe that would secure our future. Whether or not that actually secures - cannot be predicted today (may be stocks fall or whatever). But we do them today hoping for a brighter tomorrow. Getting our ward to a TOP school is like that investment only.

Each one of us cannot be Dr Abdul Kalam. Thats a one in a many million case. Probabilities would be too low (may be .000000001 or lesser). Why should anybody as a parent invest in something which has so low probability.

And yes, till now I am convinced that my sons playmate would always have a advantage - till the time I see the result - may be 20 yrs down the line.

I will give u a very small live example. I was a meritorious all rounder student. I secured good marks in class 10. 2 of my friends took admission in DPS and Hansraj. And the result is that me - including those who stayed in the same school - studied hard - are still strugglers. Not that they are not earning decently, but still whole group is planning to immigrate. Those 2 friends - one cleared MAMS and other cleared DC. I see them living life with lesser worries. So in a way difference did came.

Hi Angella

I am a very reserved personality and open my heart only to those whom I feel would reciprocate. Yes, for sure, we are a family and that is why I shared my heart. :-)

Believe me guys, this kind of understanding and support is hard to find in these times where each one of us is a virtual machine and does not care to think beyond 'I'. Thanks to the medium - this website which has given us a place to open our hearts.

Thanks Angella Jee, Thanks Shilpi Jee for boosting me - always !!

Cheers - I am really feeling better
