In some countries, children start school at the age of seven, so they could have more time to build relationship with their parents. In other countries, children start school when they are 4 years old. Do the advantage outweigh its disadvantage?
Children's education is of ultimate importance for many families in the world. Now a controversial issue under debate is whether children should attend school at an early age, such as four years old, or should they accept formal education at a more matured age.
It seems rather convincing that, for those who are being raised in poorer families, going to school earlier would be a better choice. It goes without saying that, high percentage of the children who live in rural area could not have sufficient childcare at home, since their parents are normally lack of well education background. In some cases, those children have to live with their grandparents due to the fact that their parents take long term jobs away from home. In those circumstances, school would be an ideal place for those young children to enjoy enhanced study environment constituted with bright library, well trained teachers and all sorts of education facilities, not to mention the opportunities to practice their social communication skills with their counterparts.
Nonetheless, some people may argue that education can benefit the young provided that their intelligence and emotion are developed to some extend. Those people conceive that, if children go to school too early, it may deprive their spare time as well as lay too much burden on their slim shoulder. Moreover, they may not be able to spend enough time with their parents to build up the family bond., which is essential for one's mental development in the long term.
From my perspective, the decision on when should the children attend school should be based on practical factors, including financial situation, personal maturity, preference of children themselves, and so on. Since children may not be able to tell their thoughts, it is the parents' responsibility to analyze the above issues then come up with the final choice. Also, governments have to offer guidelines regarding the time for children to go to school so as to help parents to make a better option. |
