Burdened lil shoulders

Our lower kindergarten scholar has 11 books, including 2 notebooks - one a 4-line book and the other for learning to write numbers, I think! The text books and workbooks include Books on Fruits, Vegetables, Alphabets, Rhymes and ABC writing book! All for Rs. 300.
I am too shocked for words! I thought there was no rote learning and just mix-and-match learning and chapati rolling using all the montessori stuff. But the receptionist tells me the montessori materials (she fooled us with when we went seeking admission) are for special needs kids. There are a few of them attending the class from the director's treatment session.
Anyway it is too late to change schools. He can start afresh in LKG next year. But the coaching seems to be ok - he can now tell his name. I guess there is more attention from the 2 teachers since there are so few (10 in all ) students.
Every weekend he has homework to do - the past 2 weekends, it has been coloring exercises. And he doesnt even know how to hold a pencil straight. Nor does he pay attention. We forcibly hold his hand and make the motions of coloring it, while he decides what he wants to do next.
To top it, the teacher sent a love note saying: Dear parent, please cover in brown paper and label it (since we had covered each using pages from a sports magazine after the first note came). I need to find more stickers/labels to denote his name and school and stuff.
And Ash came in the afternoon and threw all the books we (read V) painstakingly covered down the balcony. The kids are impossible - everything is going down the window/grill. Cloth clips, shoes, books etc etc.
At least if one of them were a bit sensible, life would have been easier for us. V now complains of pain in the operated leg and near the throat.

Two days of utter joblessness at the job... I will it call it a day.
