So once again I say, Spartan conditions are preferable to Athenian ones. Think of the Pelopponesian war.

deb's are not what they used to be. also in private schools a majority tend to make the grade and even those who don't still thrive. in deb the escape velocity required is very high and a majority tend to think local.
you can get the kids private hostels in campus if you must
I may be wrong..but then I could be right

Asking for a friendsmile :-...Any parent with a child at Visa Oshwal primary Westlands? Is it worth transfering a kid from his current Private school.

It happens the daughter went through the same private school as the son, was an average performer throughout primary. F1 this year has been tough at Precious Blood Girls Juja yet kids from public schools having scored less In KCPE fairing well.

My interest...my Son is also in the same private school and am Thinking if it's time to have him go through some public school learning

I had a son now in high school, VOPS was ok for him. For my daughter the story was different we had to move her to a private school. It's therefore dependant on the individual what works for one may not work for another. Before settling on VOPS I would encourage you to explore hospital hill primary. The population is lower and it has better facilities.

And even most teachers there are inundated with local mentality coz not exposed beyond remote clans.
