I'm still waiting for the person that will forcefully enroll my 16 months old daughter to school since they have a thousand questions to ask me why she's yet to start schooling.
God bless you.

I was shocked when i saw this Swiss woman that married to Anambra man that answers nwanyị ọcha on social media, she posted her son's first day in school and the boy was like 4-5yrs old I think last year or thereabout.

She explained that its a traditional or law in Switzerland to home train a child until they're up to 5yrs before they can put into a school

So, you know the reality, yet, you are advocating for unrealistic standards

What is unrealistic? A daycare is what a toddler needs and not some school.

As good as your opinion sounds,it's not easy for parents to keep their children at home. Won't they work again? Besides, children like that dey Sabi book. Trust me. My son started school at 8month and him Sabi book pass him younger ones wey start @ 2years.

To you it has no inherent value but have you looked at it this way, that a child who is two can read two to four later words don't you think that at age four or five the child would have gearned more than just two to four later words?

I mean no offense but early education makes this kids develop pretty fast. Can you compare kids of the 90's with kids of today? The difference is early exposure and socialization. Some of us who weren't exposed early to education are still some what not very social because we didn't have the opportunity these kids have. One can still balance between early education and parenting with the right skill, if one can this right your kids will be exceptional with the help of God.
oga, shut the hell up.
So u are telling me that these yahoo yahoo, hackers, cultists, bandits, zero-moral evil indomie generation of now are better than the the 90s children? Abeg shut the hell up.

Many children in the US and UK go to "school" at an early age, because their parents work. I do not see their societies failing due to this.

They're generally ready for some kind of school at 3. But this isn't a full day of real school. It's mostly preparation.

It's wild that some people try to start them with real schoolwork at like 2. Like, take it easy. They're only a baby.

In the short run, it's advantageous because school are a perfect place for spreading communicable diseases.
However, research has shown that exposing infants to germs may offer them greater protection from illnesses such as allergies and asthma later on in life.

Yeah but there has to be a balance, (safe) exposure to germs to build some immunity sounds okay, nobody actually wants to ( or can even) groom a child in a completely sterile environment but then age is also a factor, its might be better healthwise for a one year old to attend creche than a 3 month old.

A one year old and a 3month old being exposed to the same environment ( children with different cattarh, cold and every every) might yield different results in both children healthwise.

nursery and pre nursery are informal arrangements. But a child should enter nursery 1 at 3 yrs, graduate at 5 and enter primary 1 at 6.
Ok dear

You reason well my brother

abayormie00:
The main reason most students don't like school or anything that has to do with academics, is because, students seem not to have a pleasant experience of it from childhood, as a result of the behaviour of despite parents, who always try to force things into their child's head, even at pre developmental stage, when their brains hasn't yet developed to accommodate such school work.

However, it is crucial for parents to educate themselves on a proper age that is required and appropriate to enroll a child to school.

Finally, some parents should take it easy on children that seem not to respond to school work, because, the fact that a child doesn't seem to understand at infancy, won't make the child worse-off at latter stage of development, because, learning is a long life thing, and every learner should be given the opportunity to learn at their own pace.
