thnx Vireena, nw id lyke 2 elaborate,

I am responsible 4 ISMZ rep. accordin 2 Naved. Well im flattered 2 say dat im da one person, accordin 2 naved, who the whole world judges ISM by. Yea. Im a film star n teen idol dat ppl r influenced by me, right Naved?????

U think, that u can make a difference in ISM????????? in a skool of 6,000, u, can make a difference??????? u need more dan apost on a site. U need dedication n co-operation. n it aint a matter of 1 or two days. it takes years 2 gain a reputation as the one u talk of. N it aint s simple as tellin a bunch of kids "oi u!! go build a rep for us!"

i dont exactly noe hw u can build a good rep. bt we can try. we can try 2 make the skool a better place, improve our grades n raise our stdz. we need 2 talk 2 our teachers. u noe we have sum pretty good teachers. bt sum dnt care cuz thjey noe we wld go 4 tuition.its these techers huz attitude we gotta change. we can bring up the expectations.

N i dint like ur accusation at all, sorry.
dnt mean any harm nor offence 2 any student or staff member.

well i agree with divya on her point touch on teachers.. we should try our level best to improve our teachers(a few of them) and we should think positive and we shouldnt think like we cant do it.. we all r the same.. we have to make our mind like YES WE CAN DO IT..!!! and divya had a pretty gud start with the staff.. we should correct wat is wrong in our school and then i am sure reputation of ISM will be raised without anything.. we have to be confident.. it's jus the same confidence wat we usually gain while entering the examination room.. we all hav the same type of memory its jus the way of utilisation dats all in this world.. if we get togetha and change the staff well with a bit conversations on skills etc.. i am confident our school be the best place to complete our education..

what about facilities?(as divz mentioned before), to increase the standards we must also have great facilities (note* not only in the academic level..currently academically we have good facilities, but im basically talking about extra curricular activities)

k man ..i m not pretty sure wat u thnkin ...but gulf wise its one of de biggest skool ...n very much recommended...n if u plannin to make ism famous world wide...dun u thnk 1st oman shuld b a little famous...its not even tht famous in gulf countries....so how do ya expect ism to get famous ...but did ya knw ism is kinda famous...any person who knws sumthng abt oman ..sure does knws abt ism ..coz of its history..its one of the oldest skool specially in indian skools in oman .....

k den lets go skool wise...v hav all most everythng....but i will say backward.....
then teachers...k derr is sum problem in their accent...but k still derr r sum famous teachers..like mr.alexander....he is very much respect by other skool teachers...n mr.abraham also ...k even if u wanna improve the teachers...lets start wit their luks ...as v all told today ..today dress up properly n proper shoes n combin of hair....check out out sirs 1st ...they dont even wear ties....so tht doesnt luk formal .....n hair ...damn they shuld really tak sum tym on it...it s always told appearances makes personalities...k i wouldnt discss female teachers here...coz it may bcom a prbs for me l8r..lol...
k then lets go facilites wise....k v hav pretty much more tht wat other skools hav..i can say coz till my lst year i was in iswk ..n trust me no ism-ian wanna goes derr to study..but still wat accordingly our skool mus b earnin ...shuld actually start spendin more now on dese stuffs...wat u say....i thnk varun will help us dis year n nxt year in dese all stuff as he now asst head boy..
guess dis pretty much ...1st let them correct dis ...n c it ll sure increase its reputation ..n dude .....dun expect a university or sumthng lyk oxford ....its a skool ...so chill man ...n the way u told tht parents shuld let their children in our skool....dude 4 tht 1st n last thng is tht...students shuld change their attitude...at dis moment most of parents say v wont let our child in a skool lyk ism coz of its students..their behaviors....so pls check tht also ...by dis i m not tellin tht skool authorities shuld brng up wit harsh rules like no spikes SOB ..n stuff lyk tht ...coz every1 is not responsible 4 dis all stuff..

chintan9 · Guru

I am wid divya and umran!!!about the uniform....But!! you cant expect the skool to change to casual's.....Does any of the skool's in oman or the gulf have it???NO!They shuld change the design of the clothes.There should be tie's for the guys..Which make them more smarter.....Umran..you cant expect them to allow 'spikes' hairstyle in skool dude.....I DUNT think so its allowed in any ''indian skool's''.A gud thing they have allowed us for the use of gel but only for setting up the hair!That's the gud thing.....I really dunt know wat is naved tryin to convey in this post?Is he tryin to say that our skool's reputation is down??And we need to improve it??People consider 'ISM' as one of the best skool's in oman for schooling!! Yes in recent years ISM is getting away in the field of discipline but now the authorities are Quite Strict and takes necessary action's......Reply......If sumthings wrong.....

i am an ex student of ism. do u guys no dat ism is da best skool in da whole wurld, if u dont tink so i do.i study in da IS bahrain and it totally sux. its not as gud as ism. i swear ism is da totally coolest skool u can ever find. especially ism teachers r better dan da isb teachers.ull no how much u miss ism after u ve left da skool.

Jamini · Senior Member

actually divz iam not against u or wid naved. u no reli ism is better dere is much more facility in ism dan da skool in bahrain n da teachers in ism r much better da da ones in isb. being an ex student u actually realise how ism is.u no but u still need to improve on sum facilities. n if u eva cum to bahrin skool ull find ism in much better position. n abt da uniform its better dan da ones in bahrain. im not trying to compare ism wid isb. v need to improve da unifom of ism, nyways tell umran dat spikes r still not allowed in maybe indian skools. and puhlese dont compare ism wid TAISM, BSM,ABA.

now dere r still better topics 2 discuss abt

naved puhlese get some gud ones

Here's the thing: when people look at you screwing up, even if they know you're from ISM, on second thoughts they'll definitely feel that you have:

1. no common sense
2. no etiquette
3. not much influence of sensible parenting

That is to say, they'll look down on your parents and not the school. Now it's a different case altogether when you have a bunch of ISM students striking across the streets or something. But mostly, you're the fool if you screw up and it's not the school's fault.

Secondly, a school's reputation today is mostly a matter of average marks of the student body. Nothing much more (with maybe "number of Times of Oman quiz games won" as another trivial criterion). Or for example, certain factors like how well the school does at the national athletics or debate shows. But that's it. It's not like it's dependent on a single person -- not even a whole class (like 10 or 12).

Thirdly, mostly parents put their kids in ISM because it is a huge school and thus the Committee thinks thrice before putting forward a new policy to avoid parent-school disagreements. So they think, "yeah this school's going to be good because it can't afford to stake such a large student body". But there's a fallacy. Some schools with a population much lesser are tons of times better. Just think about Omani schools: they have amazing facilities (and faculties) and a lot of cool machinery and technology (though they unfortunately end up with students not as smart as Indian kids -- in fact I think Indian kids are probably the creme de la creme in the world when it comes to academics).

Naved, accents are one thing Indians have not learned, really. And accents are very important. It shows what you are. Truly. Now if you're a Keralite faking an Australian accent, people will laugh at you more than they might laugh at a pure Keralite accent.

I don't care how teachers look as long as they dress decently and can act effectively. There are so many ugly people who have become world class with their accents, etiquette, and general personality. Remember Stephen Hawking? He looks paralyzed, geeky, unhappy, and disabled. Yet millions read of him and his works and admire him for what he is.

One thing ISM and Oman need is: DEMOCRACY. I'm sick of having to keep my mouth shut for political reasons. You think we can topple governments and set up honest democracies by something like non-violence and shutting up? Hell no, unless you're ready to wait for 5 more generations. Maybe we need to up the ante in terms of politics and think more broadly about such issues.

deadlydivs · Queen

OK PPL STOP!!!!!!!!!!!! WE stopped dis topic long ago bt nw as dere arnt any new topicz lets just kill dis one off until we can get varun or sum1 2 look over dis.

As u jst posted, ill say: i agree wid Akshay. n d thing is dt we dnt behave properly cuz we are nt treated properly. Sure sure, mst of da teachers give us our space; ignore us totally even. BT sum teachers (no names mentioned) actually throwz bookz at d students n manhandle us, evn after lodgin several complaints but 2 no avail; i remember an incident in which a teacher slapped a boy in my year so hard his nose was bleedin lyke anythin n dint stop 4 long; other incidents have led 2 throwin of bookz in dustbinz, out the windows, on the students head or just out of the class. Bookz r treated as god. Most students dnt pay a lot of respects 2 bookz bt at;least dey dnt keep throwin dem on d floor do dey??

Can u expect us 2 really appreciate our teachers after such behaviour?????? would u have high praise 4 dat person?? its human nature 2 dislike ppl hu humiliate or hurt us. n d rest of d class is witness 2 such situations. would u still stick up 4 a teacher who mistreated ur frnd in front of a class???? i noe i wouldnt. Would u??
