I’ve passed out from this school in 2015 when I was in 12th(CBSE) Science(at the time they had only science stream) Physics, Math, Chemistry and Informatics Practice as my subjects.
As seen recently, the Math teacher and Chemistry teacher who were teaching my class are still teaching in the school so I’m giving the review.
In my opinion the science stream faculty were the worst they wouldn’t teach properly didn’t even want to make effort to explain concepts in a different way so that we can build up on the knowledge from there they would only teach what was there in the NCERT textbooks, nothing more and would make explainations so complicated, sometimes just write the proofs on the board without explaining why certain steps are performed and would solve the easiest problems only and set the question paper by picking only the questions that were 10x times difficult from the best reference books, wouldn’t even give suggestions on which reference books to refer to, when asked they would just tell you NCERT was enough which was definitely not the case so we literally had to figure out everything ourselves by searching for best reference books, reading through them and sometimes that also wasn’t enough to understand and appreciate the concepts in order to practice, prepare ourselves and be able to practice answering previous board exam question papers we required tuitions too, separate from the coaching classes for entrance exams. Tell me what was the point of attending school?
Most of the students from my batch started going for tuitions in the Jal Vayu Vihar building in Kammanahalli just when the 12th school classes started in March and would score really well from those tuitions most of them got a 90% above For Physics, Maths and Chemistry.
Now coming to Informatics Practice, this teacher I guess left or is still teaching in this school I'm not sure, the teacher would just make us type code on the IDE, no explaination nothing instead of getting curious and enjoying it, I hated the subject and I developed fear towards coding as well ….it was my first time learning to code and boy was it horrible I would fail miserably I don't even remember how I completed my project…didn’t know what I was doing and why until after preboards my mum bought a reference book and using that I understood the practical and theoretical aspects of Java, understood my project code better because of practicing and aced my IP board exams but still the horror of the journey stuck with me, never wanted to delve into coding in college and this affected my entire career trajectory until 2023 when I started to delve into coding and started to love it.
And overall there was just too much of favouritism, teachers would act completely mean to some of us and would always find a chance to put some of us down even in front of our parents but the teachers had a different attitude to a few others who would interact with them often, laugh at their jokes etc … and then these few favourites of theirs became their ultimate favourites after they started doing well(because of going to Jal Vayu Vihar which the teachers didn’t know of) however there were exceptions for students who wouldn’t do quite well but since they were friends with the few favourites they would not be mean to them.
In the PTM, if you didn’t talk to people in the favourite group then they would tell you to mingle. Not only this they would even be snarky enough to cut my marks like a whole 5 marks for a question even though I answered it right like the way their favourites have answered I had looked at one of their fav genius student's papers to confirm. Thank God the board exam papers weren't corrected by them and I scored above 80% overall.
Plus there used to be cornering and groupism among students as well.
These things really affected me and took me years to come out of, so always choose a school/college that has the right environment as long as the environment isn’t gonna traumatise you and lead to setbacks, one aspect should be good enough to be worth it.
