"Hustle" is the buzzword of the twenty-first century. We must prepare our children to take over from the current generation of hustlers.
"When you all have kids, it's important to let them win," President Obama said to his White House interns in 2012. "Until they're a year old. Then start winning."

Last September, my friend's husband got a highly coveted well-paying job in Dubai. She was about to pack her bags, when she and her husband decided that their pre-school going son would not respond well to this sudden change in his environment, and that it was in the best interests of their child if he were to finish his school year in the same school. Thus they decided that her husband would go to Dubai and start working, and my friend and their son would join him in the next academic year.

Coming late to school, not returning library books on time, wearing a dishevelled school uniform, not polishing your shoes, talking during class or during assembly, forgetting books for classes were all indiscretions that led to such "remarks".

In July 2020, the Union Cabinet cleared a new National Education Policy (NEP) which proposed extensive changes to India’s existing educational framework. Most of us have read about the educational framework changes recommended.
The overarching message of the NEP 2020 is more unique though. In this iteration, the NEP stresses tapping the creative
"A good education is a foundation for a better future." - Elizabeth Warren
We build strong foundations for our homes to make them last for decades; we as a society should follow the identical approach for creating a substantial learning foundation for our young generation.
