Hi All
I am a fresher and joined infosys Nov 2021 in campus placement.
Now has 11 months of experience. I am planning for MS in Jan intake
If I resign now notice period is 1 month, but if I complete 1 year notice period is 3 months?
My visa is not yet approved, I am confused now whether to resign or stay?
Is there any buy back notice if it is there what is the process?

I’m from Europe and my wife and I decided to put our kids private (Christian school). Being conservative we believe it aligns more with our values. On top of this the education level is excellent (Ive seen an article stating that if all catholic schools were a single school district, it would have the highest test results in the nation). And finally the school has an amazing sense of community. Well worth the extra cost.
Someone told me this which stuck with me “Public schools were built to take care of kids to ensure parents go to work so that they can pay taxes to the city, state and federal coffers”
This is honestly a ridiculous quote

It depends where you are. Lots of areas where the public schools are extremely good. I personally would never send my kid to private. I would focus on living in an area with strong public schools.
Really depends on how your local public school district is. Some are great, some not so much. I’ve seen Catholic schools that are great and Catholic schools that are terrible. Same with non-Catholic private schools. Just because it’s private and you pay a lot doesn’t mean it’s a good school or a good fit for your child. If you live/move to a good school district, I would definitely do public. Ours has a great sense of community and high ratings, absolutely no reason to do private.
It depends on what type of private school you are talking about. There are a select minority of private schools like Dalton that are feeders to rule college and social connections. They are obviously worth it because they increase the odds of ending up in the very to income brackets.
95% of private schools don't provide a better education than your average public school. They select for good students and weed out trouble makers or kids with special needs so their scores are higher but that is almost entirely beside they lopped off the bottom of the distribution.
I sent my kid to private school but it was realistic. It was a luxury good. She didn't have to deal with problem kids.
We aren't ultra religious/conservative but that is the other reason people send their kids to private schools, though in my experience that usually results in a worse education not better. They are selecting schools based on fidelity to a religious text, which necessarily mean certain things can't be taught and education quality will always be a secondary consideration to values.
We live in Manhattan. Only reason we’re going private is for Jewish stuff. Otherwise we’d do public
Yeah. Public schools in our area are fine
Kids can get a great education at either. Public schools with vary greatly depending on the location/specific district. Private schools can very even more pending on the type of school in addition to location.
I went to a private Catholic school and send my kids to one as well. In addition to the religious aspect we really like the community and commitment other families have to the parish (not just the school).
