Children too young to go to school?

9:53 PM

A recent report by The Guardian talks about the demand made by educational specialists to call for an extension in the formal schooling age.When we look out for a similar situation like this in India, having seen the reality, where my cousins were force-fed with too much information at like 3 or 4 yrs with charts and books everywhere it would be a best option to start schooling between 6-7 years. And can't beat the education system where nothing is practical and from a very young age children are forced to get a first grade. (Where we tend to take into consideration the child's ability, have to blame the society though!)

The letter said,

The continued focus on an early start to formal learning is likely to cause profound damage to the self-image and learning dispositions of a generation of children’.
