I can sense the tension through the emails and various modes of messages via linkedin, facebook, twitter, my webistes schoolkhojo.com and madhuriesingh.com comments.

Read carefully my dear parents.
Tip No 1.
School Admission is a serious thing and hence you must take it seriously.
But just by thinking its serious is not enough. You have to also let the other person involved in it too to feel that you are serious.
So firstly make sure your appearance says that you are serious.
Wear formals only.
Ladies a tip for you. Try to wear smart outfits only. No typical casually worn clothes will do.
If you wear western outfits kindly do not wear Bindi.
If you wear kurti, keep it smart with jeans.
No chunky jewelry or even real gold heavy weight stuff.
Men, no T Shirts and faded jeans. As formal you can carry off is the idea.
No need to flash expensive gadgets to intimidate the principals.

Tip No 2.
All look and no performance will not lead you to anywhere.
So you must prepare for the interview just like you did to get that wonderful job.
Add to that a well planned set of questions that should be answered by each partner.
Cryptic ? Well I am in the krptonic mood so you will have to bear with my wordings.
Decide amongst you and your spouse who will answer what category of questions and stick to that when you both are asked questions.
So about the child, age, food, mom, home, homework, past school one spouse may answer, the board, why this school, distance, work, time etc the other partner may answer.
Do not give a blank stare to the principal.
Do not nudge each other to answer the question.
Do not cut your partner in between.
These are a few of the tips. There are many more that will be shared.
