Q: Is it all right for my child to spend more time on dance, music, and doing project work than actually reading his textbooks?
A: Holistic education demands development of all aspects of individual’s personality across various domains. It is unfortunate that not much attention and emphasis is given to the development of interests, hobbies, and passions of learners. Focusing on excellence in academics alone undoubtedly results in lop-sided development of personality. It is thus essential that due importance be given to participation in co-curricular activities like music/ dance, art, dramatics and other areas of an individual’s interests. This is likely to make life more fulfilling and enjoying.
