Sultan Speak - Core scholastics

It was almost 13 years ago, I remember having an argument with a school principal in Bangalore who was against sending her children to inter school competitions.

She believed that taking part in such competitions was bad for her children and those they lost interest in their academics because of such activities. She was proud of the fact that her children did not digress from studies and focused exclusively on academics. As a young college student I lost the battle that day, but I knew deep within my heart that things will change some day and my efforts of propagating inter school competitions of all kind's not just quizzes and debates would pay off some day. Over the years I have had several debates and arguments with school principals who refused to participate in some amazing events we organized, I have felt defeated and sad and angry at times, but I always believed that things would change some day.
