Gear is Pure Torture! For Teachers and Students.

They all initially fall for Srinivasan “Blah Blah”. Later they realise this man is not the fellow he claims he is. Then they leave.

If you are planning to work there fb, DON’T!

Good Teachers can’t put up with the stupidity of Srinivasan, his wife Savitri and and the other lady Seena. Thats all!

Keep away from this School…..
If you are a trained teacher try elsewhere….
Its easy to get a job in Gear….
Since the School does not follow and guide lines…
I know a teacher who worked there…and she told me her story….

my children are in Gear and as far as study is concerned, its one of the best in bangalore. Their methodology, ways and the effort they put in is quite creditable. The best part is that the children are encouraged to open their mind. no rote learning method. i have never seen any of their question papers in which they are required to mug up the text and then reproduce it.its always application oriented.
the teachers take great pains to clear the concepts,
education wise its very very good.
however they need to improve their infrastructure a little. they have some plans but it might take another 4-5 years to complete.
overall very good school.

The school is trying desperately to be one of the worsts schools in Bangalore.

1. Homework sheets are not taken. If taken, not corrected.
2. In the name of practice children are made to stand/sit in hot sun while the teachers enjoy shade
3. Instead of sports, children are shown movies in the computer room while the sports in-charge makes money in some other school
4. Principal makes way to construct house inside school facility.
5. Teachers poorly paid and hence often children mention either nobody came to teach or some new teacher (read as trainee) took some other class.
6. Unpaid/Low paid teachers from their own teacher training institute are used as trainees from teacher perspective and teachers from parent/children perspective
7. For ‘talents day’ parents are asked to hire costume (isnt it a no brainer that its easy for the school to arrange costume for all children)
8. Fees for the entire year is taken upfront in Feb/Mar
9. New lessons are given as homework (for parents to teach).

Excellent place for teachers (read as housewives) to make some peanuts instead of staying at home.

You are right Bhagya, that coach is pathetic. He never takes interest in sports.Neither coaches the kids. We wish he leaves the school but no luck. This year I have planned to take my child out.

We are very disappointed with this school. We had put our child thinking that sports (Basketball is a part of the curriculum.We had returned from abroad and were looking for a school with good sports also Gear promised alot but failed to deliver.Academics any school in Bangalore is the same except NPS.

We have found the reason for the failure of the school in sports. That credit goes to the so called sports In charge Mr. Rao. He never coaches the children. The MITA/summer camps is a sham.

Can you believe he does not take the children for the matches.Only relies on the sr. team which comprises of 10std children mostly who will be out of the team. No succession planning at all. If questioned blames the principal saying that he does not permit.

Principal sir, please get this man out. Your school will get a name in sports too. We will be satisfied for the money we are paying as school fees.
