My only regret with the KV system was the relatively little emphasis on the humanities and a rather undue emphasis on rote science and math. There are two factors that explain this. First, the qualifications of the teachers. For many years, the insistence of a B. Ed. after the first degree eliminates the more subject-oriented, more passionate individuals such as MA, MSc, History or Science or Language (Hindi, Marathi) from applying for permanent positions. Second, the school caters to a wide socioeconomic spectrum of kids, from the children of janitors to the faculty members. This, at times, dampens the enthusiasm of many teachers, who spend a lot of time trying to get the class in order.
