  • Saint Joseph's High School, complete student of st.joseph (guest) wrote 8 years ago:
    Full politics minded teaching staff . Some teachers earn money by tell tuition's at home for the same students who they teach at school. Teachers get more income and benefits from tuition's rather than the school . Education made them a big business market place for this school teachers in the name of ICSE syllabus. I will be thankful if anyone can prove that the above statement is false by asking feedback from current innocent students who are going for tuition's at the teachers who teach them in school itself. :)
