I am an army officer's wife and got recently posted to Lucknow in the month of Jan. Since I was looking for some good school for my child I decided to put him in Kangaroo Kids. While taking to the authority I asked them that its little far from my place will they be able to provide transport facility to the child?? for which they promptly agreed and requested me to pay the whole fees and do the formalities, but told me that van would be provided to me from the month of Feb. I happily agreed to keep my son at home for a month as I was satisfied that he will be going to a good school. To my surprise when I called them on 3oth of Jan to confirm about the van timing they told me that they can not arrange for the van. They didn't even bother to inform me the whole month in spite of having my contact no. and wasted one month of my child.
The story didn't end here, they told me to check it from the new session as they might get new admission. In the meanwhile I put my child in some other school with the hope that I might get transport facility .In the month of feb (almost toward the end) I called up the school authority to check for the van facility from the new session as well as since they have published an advertisement in the newspaper for the post of teacher I inquired about that also. They requested me to come for the interview and mock class. They were really keen to take me as they would have got new student and a teacher for the school. I joined the school but not transferred my child to the school. Everyday they they use to inquire whether I'll b transferring my kid or not??? I did so and paid the fees only for uniform and stationary.
Again a surprise from there side. Since admission for others school have almost closed, School authority asked me and one more teacher to leave the school as some ex-teacher was keen on joining the school. I asked school either to refund my kids admission amount or take the responsibility of my child... to which they told me that they cannot do either. Amount could not be refunded as on papers they have adjusted the amount as admission fees and can not provide van either for the child...My question is :-
1) How can they adjust amount of stationary and uniform as admission fees.
2) Was taking me into the school was just a plan to get the child in school to meet there greed for money, and once there aim is met to throw me out??
3) If they had to appoint some ex-teacher how can they appoint me??? does management is not firm about its decision??
4) How can the management throw somebody out without prior notice or reason for the same?
When I told them that I'll escalate the matter to head office headmistress used abusive language with me which is absolutely unethical. I want the school to refund my amount as I have returned the stationary and an apology letter from authorities for playing with my child's future to meet their greed for money.
