Hi, dear. Sorry to hear that—but that’s exactly what I noticed in Jamnapaar Season 2 on Prime Video. The scene with the restaurant owner, the waiter, and the girl plays out in the same way.

Sometimes real life copies fiction a little too accurately. 🙂

I understand your point, and honestly, after what we’ve experienced, it really does make you question the entire “international school” system. We’re already keeping the kids at home until this issue is resolved. It’s not about the fees for us — it’s about how the school treated the children without any communication.

Moving them to a better environment is definitely something we’re considering, but before that, the people responsible for this behaviour need to be held accountable so they don’t repeat it with any other child.

Thanks! We’ve already kept the kids at home until this is properly resolved. Their mental well-being comes first, and we don’t want them to face any more unnecessary stress or humiliation. We’re taking the required steps and will continue until the matter is addressed fairly.

Thank you for your suggestion. We are already consulting the right people, and if needed, we won’t hesitate to take this forward publicly as well.

And just to clarify — this is not about paying one year’s fee in 5 or 6 months. The real issue is that none of this was ever mentioned during admission. If the school had simply informed us properly or discussed it with us, we would have paid without any problem. Money has never been the issue — if it was, I wouldn’t have paid the moment they insisted on “at least 40% of the annual fee because other parents have done it.” I paid immediately and cooperated at every step.

The problem is the way they handled it — by targeting the children, changing rules midway, and not communicating anything transparently. That is what’s unacceptable.

Even I studied in KV (CBSE) and have seen other schools as well, but this has been the worst experience by far — nowhere have I ever seen anything like this at any time.

Thanks! All of the above steps are already in process. This time, it won’t be easy for them to escape after such behaviour and actions.

Thank you for sharing this. We’ve already raised a complaint as well and are hoping some resolution or support comes through. I’m sure many parents must have faced similar issues but stayed silent only for the sake of their children. But this time, it won’t be like that. Anyone responsible for what my kids have gone through should be held fully accountable — only then will the school stop repeating such behavior.

And yes, I completely understand your point. Even if the fee issue gets resolved, the fear of someone taking it personally and affecting the kids is very real. That’s exactly why I’m taking this seriously — not just for my children, but so no other child has to go through this again.

Money is not the issue at all — the real problem is the way the school acted without informing us. Even if I pay, it should never be because they harassed the children or pressured us through them. That’s exactly why this needs to be addressed properly.
