I would like to share my views on Oakridge Bangalore
We first visited the school a year back for an event organized for kids aged 3-6. The event was good. Kids and parents were impressed.They had spent a lot of money on the event. As our child was in a very good preschool we were not in hurry to move him to a regular school.Our first impression of the school was " They spend a lot of money on advertising". Whether its on paper, bill boards or events the money they spent is huge.
Our recent visit and the last visit to the school was today. We went to en-quire about the curriculum and admission process. A representative from the administrative block informed us that we need to take prior appointment and get the kid along, finish the procedure and need to finalize on the same day. We told her we would bring the kid for our next visit as he is in school and we will get him if we like the school and can afford the fee.
She was skeptical to take things forward but informed us that she would fix a appointment and do what best she can. After about 30 min she asks as to sit in a cabin and informed us elementary coordinator would meet us. The elementary coordinator did come and asked us to leave if we were not happy with the procedures followed.(like bringing the kid along finishing all the formalities in a single day. That was our only concern)
That is it. She had no manners, no time to speak just asked us to leave. And we did do exactly that.
When they are so many schools to choose from, we did not think we need to stoop to her level and argue or talk to her further.
We left not disappointed but happy and feeling relaxed that our kid will never be a part of this school.
By the time we reached home they had called the Principal of the preschool( the best one) and apologized for their behavior.The school my son attended mainly focuses on "CHARACTER BUILDING". I don't think I have to write more as it is self explanatory.
Would not recommend this school to any of my friends, relatives, neighbors.
On reaching office later part of the day and going about our jobs(we recruit people to IT, BPO and pharma companies) the HR head who was conducting interview was discussing the bad attitude some candidates have towards their job. This got us into a conversation and we discussed the similar issue we faced today in this school.
Bad attitude takes us no where.
