I'm sorry if I don't compose this well, never been good at it.
18M here. I studied in that school for 6 years, basically my entire middle school and high school ( grade 5-10). Great school when I joined it. Best in sports ( field hockey champions in entire of South India, and soccer runner ups form 2 years in Entire Bangalore), great academic results, Infrastructure from 1888 that was so well maintained( it still is), amazing extracurriculars.
All this was because of a management that actually cared about us. The teachers were well experienced. Strict but so good that some of y'all would have seen them on YouTube. All this changed in my 9th and 10th grade. The management got better offers, and some of them retired. A principle in our school can serve only for 10 years so he too retired. The new management was full of pricks. Young, inexperienced, and arrogant. All they wanted was profit. The institution turned into a buisiness.
For starters they were renovating a building in our campus, where the squash and basketball court, along with an underground bus parking( they used to park buses on the ground, which caused inconvenience to whoever was playing sports), and a HUGE canteen were supposed to be. They were charging us for it of course, mentioning a 5% fee hike, because all that was for us. In comes the new management. Raised the hike by 2% (now 7) and suddenly we have a fuckin' international school! CHEATS!! we weren't even allowed to go in there. They scraped the squash court, and built classrooms. The basket ball court was off-limits for us. We couldn't even use the canteen. Only thing we got was the lame ass bus parking ffs.
Now coming to the teachers. One by one the best ones, who obviously were supposed to be paid well, were replaced with young, inexperienced ones, in the middle of the fucking year. All these teachers man they loved us and we loved them. We weren't even notified or asked about this. One day we wake up and this new bitch is here, with her broken English, teaching it! Mind you the tenth graders suffered the most. We have these ICSE board exams, which are super important to get a good pre-university college for 11th and 12th. They fucked around with our future to save money. The quality dropped overall. They stopped sponsoring the cricket team, which resulted in us dropping to the 3rd division from 1st in 2 years. The exam schedules were tightly packed and ill planned with last minute changes. It was hell
After we managed to get done with our ICSE boards somehow, we got out of that hell, but followed a few teachers( who miraculously managed to not get fired) on social media. One of the sirs announced the following, quote ” You will not be seeing the following teachers from the academic year 2021-22″
we scrolled down to find out about our sir. The oldest employee, fired using a Facebook post. He wasn't even called and told. We had to tell him about this, because he is old and can't handle smartphones well. Man this guy served his entire life in this school from 1979. this is the loyalty they showed him? He refused much better offers for the love of his students. He taught Art. Damn good at it. Would be strict but he's the reason I can somewhat draw now, Considering I was so terrible before.
Wanna know a fun fact? The management were all between 26-33. They weren't even born when he joined. Now all the ex students hate this school, won't even show up for that one day where all ex students have a reunion. Fuck the management. Fuck the buisness.
TLDR ; management that wasn't even born when a teacher joined our school, fires him; cheats us of our canteen, squash and bb court; hires fuck all teachers to save money; ruins a 132 year old Institution within 2 years.
