HARRIED: SSC students come out of St Lawrence High School, Andheri, after their Hindi examination on March 6. PIC/KRANTI VIBHUTE</td></tr></tbody></table>hands on March 6 day one of the board exams. Noisy kindergarten students whose classes begin at 2 pm waited outside the school from 1.30 pm to enter their classrooms. The SSC paper still had 30 minutes to go.u00a0u00a0 Understandably, the SSC students found it difficult to concentrate on their all-important answer sheets in the last, and crucial, 30 minutes of the paper. English- medium students suffered during their first paper, and parents are worried when their wards take the Marathi test tomorrow, it will be no different since the paper is supposed to end at 2 pm.u00a0u00a0 A parent, who did not wish to be named, said, "The KG students are too young to understand what is expected of them. The school should have either declared a holiday for the kids or rescheduled their timings, so they would come some minutes after the SSC paper. The commotion distracts the students in the last minutes of the paper. I hope the kids do not assemble at the gate again tomorrow as they did for the Hindi paper." Parents have complained to the school principal about the disturbance. Problem on Day One On March 6, the problem began after the school management rescheduled the KG timings that used to be 1 pm to 4.30 pm to 2 pm to 4.30 pm because of the board exams. Parents of the tots, in their desire to be on time, reached the school gate minutes earlier, and inadvertently disturbed the SSC students.u00a0u00a0u00a0 Vatsala Kotian, the principal, said, "I agree that day one of the SSC exam was chaotic. I assured the parents of SSC students that the situation would not be repeated. We have asked parents of our primary section students to come at 3 pm tomorrow, so that the SSC students are not disturbed." Papers on the other days ended at 1 pm and hence there was no problem.
