[Resolved]  Seven Square Academy — Pathetic Facilities at School

Address:

Thane, Maharashtra

Mentioned below are the chain mails, that I have sent to the Seven Square Academy Chairperson and the Principal.

The one right below was sent on January 24, 2012
A) My complaint about your Bus service continues. It has been going on for MONTHS now. After meeting the Miss Dipender in November, the Bus problem got resolved in DECEMBER, however it was short lived. Since Last THREE WEEKS the menace has started again. The Bus is FULL even before it reaches Poonam Garden. Our Kids LITERALLY TRAVEL STANDING to and from School. With the kind of FEES you CHARGE for such a low standard Bus Facility, now we are re-considering our decision about this School.

Talking to your Bus Supervisor- Hingavle is absolutely USELESS. He has the same excuses: Bus kharab ho gayi hai, Driver nahi hai, MMRDA se permit nahi mila. Is that the problem of the parents or the children???
If he cannot repair the Bus or get a new driver in 3 weeks, then what is the use of a Supervisor???
When you project 4500 students for the new year, did the school not have the budget for adding new buses??? I wonder Where does our Fees go then?? Despite paying FULL YEAR'S FEES IN ADVANCE, this is what we get!!!
We are not asking for BMW's or AUDI's for our kids. But should we not even get a proper Bus Facility for our kids, A PAID SERVICE And NOT CHARITY.

B) Secondly, our kids carry their own hand sanitizers/soaps to school, because apparently the school CANNOT AFFORD CLEAN AND HYGIENIC TOILETS. The School CANNOT EVEN AFFORD TO KEEP HAND WASHES/SOAPS in the Bathrooms, this is worst than CWG now.
***
Honestly, a few of the parents here at Poonam Garden have had enough with a school that is this NEGLIGENT about Children's well being. This will be the last year my child studies in such a school. And even before you take any action to resolve these issues, the summer vacations will have started. Hence, I very well know its useless to complaint. Its just like our Indian Govt, Alas!!

After 2 months I am reminding you of my last email to you. This is extremely disappointing. Despite of so many complaints to you, via phone, email and personally visiting the school, there has been no change at all. Our kids are piled up in the bus everyday.
You people had forecasted last year that the number of students will increase, then why is it that the buses have not. We pay the FULL YEAR'S Fees in ADVANCE, and NO SYSTEMATIC service in return??? The condition of kids in the school bus is equivalent to the BEST Commuters.

I anticipate to listen from someone responsible and also a permanent solution to this daily problem.

Location: Poonam Garden
Bus No# 6.

Dear Transport Supervisor,

This email is in reference to the previous verbal complaints about the bus facility provided to children in and around Poonam Garden area.

I have personally called your office a few times to bring to your notice that the Bus number-6 is not sufficient for the increased population of SSA students residing around the above mentioned location. Our kids have to either stand or are left with no choice but get cramped up on seats that would not accommodate more than 2 kids. They carry heavy bags and it is very annoying since kids reach school tired and frustrated.

A month ago I was assured that another bus will be arranged to take care of this issue, however there has been no result. Could you please look into this urgently and arrange for an extra bus asap.

I look forward to your response in this direction.

Best Regards,
Heena
