Starting School

[bigdavecox90]

I started proper schooling at 5. Went to pre-school and all that at 3-4. I started reading young, that's why I'm a good reader and a very fast one too. My brother hasn't started reading yet and he's 13, he'll have problems BECAUSE he started late. Why start them off later when they can be learning new things instead of things they could of learnt years ago.

I got into reading by reading Harry Potter 2 when I was like 8 heh, after that I never really stopped. Half my vocabulary would of come from reading. (Bryce Courtney is the one to thank there)

Interesting, 2 is very young.

I started school at two (private prep school) :/ And I resent school so much now that i've had to leave. Though that was more to do with the people than the work.

I think seven is a bit late to start school personally, we're fine with 4/5.

The younger you are the quicker you learn things, for example a baby could learn how to talk in just over a year, where as it would take years for a teenager to learn a different language.

Also it's not like the children starting school at 4 are being forced to do like GCSE level stuff. They are usually made to draw pictures and learn alphabet, It's not really rocket science stuff is it.

tbh, If parents support their kids starting school later, and refuse to teach them to read or write, they're only hindering their kids.

no thats because a baby is being spoken english to ALL the time.

in french/german lessons you only speak it once/twice maybe three times a week.
