[mona jhaveri]

>
> Respected Ma'am,
>
> As per your mail,these are the few of the issues we would like you to look into.
>
> 1. Hygiene-
> Sorry to bring up the same issue again but there is still no major improvement in the conditions of the toilets,specially in the primary section. The children need either a jet spray or a hand spray in the toilet. They are finding it difficult to use mugs and tap water to clean themselves plus manage their dresses as well. Even the maids are not helping the younger children. The children are avoiding using the toilets.
>
> 2. Mosquitoes-
> They continue to be a problem. Children are getting bitten by mosquitoes in school. Please use mosquito repellants in school.
>
> 3. School ID Cards-
> The cards are of poor quality. They keep falling from the card holder.
>
> 4. School Uniform -
> Ma'am, most of the parents ate requesting to change the white skirt worn by the girls.
> The quality of the Pt t- shirts is also not good. The colour gets faded very fast. We want better quality t- shirts. The sizes are also not available round the year, so it becomes difficult to buy a new pair in the middle of the term.
>
> 5. HEAVY School Bags-
> The School bags are very heavy. Something must be done about it as children are complaining of back and shoulder pain.
>
> 6. Outdoor School tournaments-
> Please ensure that during the out station sports tournaments where girls participate, there is a lady teacher present to accompany them.
>
> 7. Swimming Training-
> If the school could introduce swimming training in affiliation with some club, it would be a boon for the children.
>
> 8. Adolescent Issues-
> If the school could hold seminars or lectures for the parents regarding adolescent issues and guidance we would be very grateful.
>
> 9. Projects-
> Most of the project work is done by the parents at home even if it has to be done in school. Instead if on the spot projects are done in school by providing them material and giving them time to collect information from school library or computer, it will help them showcase their skills.
>
> 10 School Text Books List-
> For those parents who do not opt for procuring textbooks from school,they require the list of text books in advance so that the books can be purchased on time,
>
> 11. Portion -
> Ma'am, please ensure that the portion for the exam is given in advance. Sometimes new topics are added at the last minute or the portion is not completed in time.
>
> 12. Commerce Stream-
> Ma'am, many parents are keen that the school introduces stds 11th and 12th for Commerce Students as well. We would like our children to continue their studies in the school till the 12th std. Please consider this.
>
> 13, LANGUAGE -
> Our school lags behind other schools because of vocabulary and command over English language of our students. We are doing great in all the other aspects.... But when you hear GBMS students conversing it's embarrassing at times. Something needs to be done about that aspect. Children are mostly conversing in Hindi, it's like it's become the official language of the school. Some strict measures can be taken with the children regarding this. I think the only reason we are not considered one of the best schools is because the overall personality development is not there. The children can do personal classes for this but it does not help the school image as a whole.
