Preschool asks how the child was delivered in application form, internet says it's none of their business
Comedian Shridhar V shared an image of a preschool application form on X. Parents or guardians must answer: "Delivery of the child?" The form only offers three options to pick from. Here's what happened.
When taking admission to a school it's natural to get asked to fill out a bunch of forms as the admission process. Mostly these forms have general queries about student's identification, residential address, contacts and blood group in case of an emergency. But imagine seeing a form that asks how the child was delivered, seems a tad bit irrelevant.
A man came across something similar and shared the admission form on social media. The internet is up for debate. Here's what the internet is talking about.

Stand-up comedian Shridhar V recently shared an image of a preschool application form on X, emphasizing an unusual question that parents or guardians must answer: "Delivery of the child?" The form only offers three options to pick from.
This seemingly unimportant question has provoked a wave of anger and astonishment among those who wonder what the point of such a question is in the context of preschool admissions. Many people have pointed out that the mode of birth is entirely private and has no influence on a child's ability to learn.

My friend told me she had to send her CV to the school authorities for her kid's admission to pre-school. My mind was blown to bits.
