Should children be put in schools when they are 3, 4 and 5 years old? Yes, the earlier you put your kid in school it improves their school life later in life. A lot of kids are in day care all day and it gives them the structure as of a real school but do they learn any thing.. To me kids should be put in a pre- K program or a daycare that is based on educating your child before he/ or she even enters school. Reg Weaver, president of the National Education Association says that children who attend a full day of kindergarten are better prepared intellectually, socially, and psychologically, then those who attend it half a day or none, and that trying to repair reading problems in the fourth grade is more expensive then teaching it earlier in life. I really think this is true because kids can pick up and learn more earlier in life than later. Do you think educating children in life works out better for them later?
Tiffany, I agree with your opinion. early children can also learn their social skills from group life as well as from their family. Peers and families give different feelings and attitudes to children. So they can catch diverse people's reaction, which helps develop their social skills. Therefore, if it's possible, young children had better put in daycare system. However, all day long daycare must make young children too tired. So I recommend half-day or around 5 hours care may be better. Tiredness can cause healthy problems.
