....the festive mnth is finally over & Children r bracing up for Annual term exams slated for the imminent 1st week .....here in Maldives , its the traditional Jan to Nov pattern....as it was with us .....some how or the other I didn't appreciate the March to Feb session back in India .....& ....also the starting of the New fiscal in April.....why can't things be kept straight , easily to be followed .....also, in Maldives its 8am to 3.30 pm for the Children at their Pvt International school , though a few Pvt & most Govt funded r 7Am to 1pm....the Current pattern back home in India of most schools starting v early & finishing early too is not acceptable to me ....the severe winter mnths in the North & East , Foggy conditions , seems to be too stressful for the kids ....hence We r v Happy for the Kids here as the stress element is minimal here ....Here, the Govt schools r well funded with impressive infrastructure & fees for expats r v low ....in a way its advantageous for many an expat fmly .....but International schools r expensive at par with Delhi & NCR nd curriculum more exhaustive....at least thts my impression ....the IGCSE is well estd here.....but as Doel was complaining tht too much info is from UK in their Check point series books.....I sincerely feel IGCSE ,since, is taken thru out the world the books need to be regional oriented....Lucky, in thr school ,they r studying Hindi ,our National language & a host many Foreign Language is on the offer....despite the criticism , must say the Checkpoint books on various subjects r real good text books , the presentation & formatting an A +....wht I gathered , rather, was a blend , if we can establish , with our Indigenous NCERT books with our pvt efforts , will serve the Children better .....as thr is no winter here , its easy for the Children to get up early, bracing & buckling up for their exams ....!!!
