Private Schools are Exploiting Parents

The manipulators call this profession as an opportunity to serve the masses. And when it comes to earning money, all heinous methods are use to exploit the gullible people. Allured by easy money, private institutions have made education a domain of the rich. Lavish spending by these institutions, the palatial buildings and frequent lavish dinners hosted by them in honour of politicians and VVIPs, speak of the inside story.


The exploitation of the parents and students can be gauged by a traumatic experience recently one mother went through. When she reached at school one fine morning—a private school (named after one herbal medicines manufacturer) opened its doors to students in a Model Town neighbourhood/entry point. She were singled out at the accounts office and told by the accountant that her wards could not go to the classroom, though a day ahead she submitted. Surprisingly she asked for the reason. Accountant told abusively to submit fee of coming months in advance right now. When she complained the administration and directors proved as chip of same block. However, for no fault of them wards were insulted in front of their schoolmates. Was this conduct becoming? It is not end of story. The teachers get a very raw deal from the school’s management with the institution having a very high teacher turnover rate.
