The child has a distinct personality and future of his own

I can't tell about Bangalore but securing an admission in Mirambika in Delhi is considered nothing less than clearing for IIT, IIM, or IAS. But the impression that the child will be trained for a spiritual orientation in life by studying in these schools may not be always true. Many a times, familiarity breeds contempt and by the time the child grows up, he distances himself from whatever he considers was thrust upon him in the school.

At a more deeper level, we hardly have a hand in deciding most of the circumstances in our lives. The child has a distinct personality and future of his own. You are simply a facilitator as a parent. Considering what the TV is teaching the children all the time, what option do we have these days than to take recourse to these alternative schools?
