School Still Sleeping

DPS Bopal, Ahmedabad is still sleeping. Same routine is carried on since the 6 year old boy was dropped at wrong stop UNATTENDED.

Still no head counts are done nor the parents signature is taken while handing over the child back.

Systems need to be put into place where every bus has a list of children boarding daily. Every child is given a number and while boarding the bus, on a simple pre printed sheet a box is checked. This checked boxes are then confirmed with a head count. Every time children board or de plane.

It is simple and does not cost much. But still the school waits, probably till some major mishap takes place.

Adding insult to injury the school does not reply my simple queries. Who is responsible, what actions are taken and what corrective measures are put in place?

God give sense to the management. Give ideas as to how to get the school talking? God Bless.

I know that DPS Noida has system where they have roll call list for each bus. It is quite surprising that DPS does not follow similar patterns for all its schools throughout India. One would expect more accountability and responsibility from a school such as DPS.

This is a shocking incident. As parents we trust in the schools we choose to be responsible with our children, as we are. It's a miracle the child reached home safe, thank the Almighty. Too many incidents such as these go unreported - ofcourse the school owes moral responsibility to this act: this makes DPS seem like a mass-factory of drones: they don't care if one goes amiss. Such a pity.

This blog is a great idea to express this angst: I'd encourage more parents from the school to join - let this be a forum to connect for all dps folks. Also maybe the forum could jointly write to the school's management for this callous approach to parents grieviances.

Good luck,
Aditi
