Big Ad and mismanaged Event

I saw this ad in a newspaper, A half page ad from the school, tells you what happens when your son Rahul joins Mother’s Pride. Neighbours will think that Rahul’s grandma has magic powers, and his grandpa will become famous by starting a blog. All this will happen because Rahul will learn computer and Taekwondo in the school. According to this ad, when your child joins this school, the whole family joins it. And school charges only for your son. Family gets educated at no cost.

This school organized a Baby Show on Sunday last. Registration amount was Rs. 100. There were two batches, 9.30 AM – 12.30 PM and 2.00 PM – 5.00 PM. We registered our grand daughter for afternoon batch in I to 2 years category (she is 14 months old).

Parents were advised to get ready for Delhi’s most happening baby show, a show, that will allow us to showcase our baby’s most adorable qualities, be it a sweet smile, a curly mop of hair or sparkling eyes.

When we reached the venue at 1.45 PM results were being announced. We were told that the show is over. School has cancelled second batch, We asked them how can they do it? The reply was we have already done it. We asked them, why we were not informed, our phone number was on the registration form? They said we did not consider it necessary. So, this is the real school.

Now for managing the event. Hall was overcrowded. There were not sufficient chairs. The atmosphere was very stuffy. No proper arrangement for drinking water. School did not bother to plan a hall which could accommodate the people expected at the show. Number of children registered for show were known. It was known that at least mother and father of the child will also come.

It was nothing but plain harassment. Event was highly mismanaged. School has robbed parents of Rs. 100and lot of time, and the excitement in the family that their child was taking part in a baby show. Parents and children were mentally and physically harassed.

A highly misleading ad.
