Review for Sishu Griha
Shishu Griha - horrible school in the locality
By seema - Posted on June 10th, 2009
If you want to see hell on the earth. then think of admitting your kid to this school. this one such school, who do not tell you when they are going to issue the Application Form, what is the selection process, what is the criteria for selection, they won't allow you to enter into the gate. the watchmen doesnot even know english or kannada, Somebody told me the toilets stincs, class rooms are very tiny. they do not even own ground. they are using public ground troubling the general public from using this BBMP Ground. they park their school vans in the ground creating lot of trouble. Some how with great diffuculty if you go inside the office, you will meet one someone who will literaly bark at you. I assure you, even if you visit every day for one year regularly you will not get the admission, because they have instructed the watchman to allow the people who look good, rich and wealthy. and they give admission to only those who pay more than 2 lakhs. so this one natorious school in banglore.
I had gone to the school for some work and was horrified to see the principal's (Sujatha Mohandas) Innova driver coming out of Std I classroom. The classroom door was closed and I was just passing the corridor when I saw this horrifying scene. I tried to see if my child and other children inside the classroom were safe inside with the class teacher but another horrifying scene - the class teacher was not present - instead the sports teacher (a tall dark male - not Mr. Babu - the other one) was inside. I looked around in panic and saw the class teacher talking to another teacher in a nearby Std I classroom near the stairs.
WHAT WAS THE PRINCIPAL'S DRIVER DOING INSIDE THE STD. I CLASSROOM BEHIND CLOSED DOORS WHILE THE SCHOOL WAS RUNNING?
The toilets are highly unhygienic, dirty and children are forced to use those toilets. The ladies kept to clean those toilets don't do their duty, but the teachers don't care as the teachers' toilets are kept clean. It is a shame no one cares for these children.
Moreover, most of the times there is no water supply in the toilets. Many students are on the verge of getting infected because of the miserable condition of the toilets and this report will stand as evidence that NOTHING was done inspite of complaints!
I wonder if your story is like the "Sour Grapes" Story. Whoever told you about the rich and the famous.
Please note that I do not earn the kind of money that you are talking about but I did get admission into the school. They may have a reason to select students based on multiple criteria (which I myself am not aware of) but it does not auger well for you to talk brashly about the school just because someone didnt allow you inside.
And oh by the way I have used the toilets in the school and they are maintained neatly - I wonder whoever told you about the toilets. If you expect the toilets to be so clean that you can sleep in it, then I guess I am wrong.

hey all! please don't use any harsh tone against my school. this is the best school ever.
it is very child friendly! no punishments. but getting admissions you need to apply at the earliest as possible.
the students playing in public ground are well looked after. the class rooms are airy, clean, fresh and big. the bathroom are cleaned every four hours so it is clean. the management is very kind and polite. you will have to understand that when a person is very busy she/he will get irriated when she is disturbed. if you do get irriated. it is common man's behaviour. adjust it. they don't give admission to children based on their family background because they the know evry child is special. teachers are good, kind and helpful. they helped me a lot throughout my childhood.
hey Seema,,,
Thats a real harsh tone to take against Sishugriha. I agree that they are very strict regarding the entry inside and that they dont entertain anybody unless u have an appointment. But look at it this way, when I went to Vagdevi Vilas school, the guard wasnt even looking who i was, where i was parking my vehicle... he wasnt even aware if any child was walking out of the gates. In today's world a little caution goes a long way. we live in a world of terrorists and bomb blasts, and i really appreciate the caution and care the school takes in not letting unknown ppl inside their gates.
My son studies at mont 1 and we too werent allowed inside to even see the place. But once we were selected for the interview we were allowed all over the school.
and FOR THE RECORD- THE CLASSROOMS ARE BIG, AIRY, AND THE TOILETS DONT STINK.
The toilets in Sishu Griha not only stink, they are also extremely dirty. You may ask any child of Sishu Griha. They will tell you the truth. Unknown people play basketball in the playground attached to the school - they also try to get close to the girls who play nearby. This is really a horror school! Please verify my truth on any school day.
Hi Sangeetha, could you pls. help me. I desparately need to know if the Montessari Admissions are closed. I've been closely following up and all along they have been telling me that they will give the Montessari Admission forms in Oct. However, now they tell me its closed. I just can't seem to understand how this has happened. However, I am still keen on my child getting admitted in the school and want to try my very best to get him in. So as your child goes to this school, would you have this information? Since the school phone attendant does not help at all. I am very upset with this.
Thanks, Shekhar.
Shekar,
Firstly, they dont have a system of application forms if my memory serves me right (well my son is in Mont-2 now). They only expect you to drop a letter with the details of the child and the father and mother on a plain while sheet of paper (you can of-course beautify it which may add color).
You then need to twiddle your thumbs till December when they will suddenly out of the blue call people for interviews.
They will then expect you to cough up around 1.1 lac (Fee + Charity) for the 1st year.
So check with the school as to when they would be expecting this data from the parents and you will need to put it in an envelope and submit it at the school gate.
You may want to verify this and take it forward.
All the best.
