How to choose a school

The father knows the child's temperament, personality, ability, talent, special needs and peculiarities and little foibles that make him or her only person who cares (and concern) about many things. Choosing the most appropriate educational environment is probably one of the most important decisions you will make on behalf of his son. This book, the first of its kind in India, provides information to help weigh the options available. The needs of his son

At the secondary level, choosing a school, probably looms large in a child's mind as well. He or she may have strong views, perhaps on the grounds that the friends are going. Talk together. Try to get your child to think in terms of their own needs that may be quite different from that of another person. Talk with your child's teachers. They have much to contribute and be able to make some recommendations. However, they can not take the decision to his son. Start by considering these points:

• What are your child's academic abilities?

• What is he or she interested?

• What are the things that he or she is especially good at?

• What are the things that he or she struggles with? Do these must be remedied?

• Is your child creative? How?

• Is the child shows any sporting talent?

• What personality, strengths and weaknesses that he or she?

• What kind of school environment that your child respond? You are Needs

The school will have a considerable influence on his son, so it is reasonable to expect that the values promoted by the school at least approximate his own. You need to develop what you want from a school before you ask what a school has to offer. The values do not mean moral and religious values. The term can also refer to a range of social issues as school attitude toward affirmative action for girls, or even something as mundane as nutrition available in the school canteen or mess. If it is important to you, is not mundane.

There are practical points to consider, such as their willingness (or lack thereof) to participate in school-related activities. Is the time to participate in travel arrangements?

How much time and energy are you willing to give to school? Some schools expect a high level of parental involvement, others less. If you have more than one child, their needs are very similar or are likely to attend different schools? If they are, the demands on their time is multiplied.

What are the different schools offer you will be using various sources of information to find out what different schools have to offer? This book is simply a starting point. Please contact the school you're interested in coming and current information of its latest prospectus
