I get very disappointed whenever I read any newspaper; it is always painted with crime stories. And the most frightening part is the exponential rise in crime, not only by the uneducated strata but also by the so called ‘well educated people’ of society. Why is it so? Is it only the economic disparity which is to be blamed or lack of spiritual and ethical foundation are also responsible for the same.
Have you ever noticed the “Leaning Tower of Pisa” and wondered why it is not straight. Simple; because its foundation was weak and as the time passed it could not stand its own weight. No one wants his/her child to be like the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
We need to give a strong foundation in terms of ‘holistic education’ to the child in his/her early years, so that he can become a complete human being who can face the adversities of life with integrity and come out a winner in the real sense.

BTW, this is the first post by Dr. Gupta on the School blog. I agree with Dr. Gupta that the majority of schools (read even private schools) have failed in delivering the goods as far as spiritual and ethical parts of the education are concerned.
Additionally, I believe they have failed even with the academic aspects of the education is concerned. So, we want buildingBlocks to complement the prevailing system wherever it has holes.
