Everything communicated in advance. Detailed instructions for smooth operations. Mostly all the parents have to do is show up on time!
Lot of last minute declarations, make it difficult for parents to plan anything. Parents also have to do a lot of work for any event in the school.
System driven approach. Even if staff changes, systems and methods continue in the same way.
When teachers change, students and parents all have to adjust to a new teaching style
Variety of activities to showcase even academic skills and quick thinking in addition to the regular events
Usually only standard events like sports and performing art competitions and gathering performance
Lots of demonstrations for each parent to see the skills the child has picked up over the year
No such concept in other schools. Just competitions where the parents or students prepare themselves
