Gmajor: Actually it's not, lots of us mothers can testify that during covid lockdown which the children didn't go to school for months, there were fewer cases of catarragh and cold,fever sef most infections in little children are gotten from school or creche. And then it was even a topic on one group on FB., many testimonies from mothers, that lockdown confirmed to me that it's mostly from school children get these common infections, my son didn't even sneeze for those 6 months. I didn't even realize till I saw that discussion on FB |

PrimadonnaO: Thank you for your observation. But there’s an inherent value. My neighbour’s son (5 years) was asked to repeat nursery two because he couldn’t read, His parents were depressed about that, because paying school fees and buying books in this era two times is not easy. Nevertheless, they got home tutor for him, he is coping right now. |

abayormie00: Ur obviously not or parent yet ,or better still a very ignorant one.Many parents would love to keep their children at home,but the harsh realities of the times we r in and our economy doesnt allow it. We talk about women contributing their quota and providing for the family,the same women u are expecting to sit at home to take care of the kids,till they are "old enough" for school?How hypocritical can u guys be.How many men are willing to pay all the bills ,or even av the ability to,without support.Most homes need both income to stand.And maternity leave is maximum 3months ,then a woman is made to return to work,with a 3month old? Or is it men that are hustling day and night,spending hours on the road or at the field, just to be able to provide for their families,.,Ur expecting to sit at home and take care of the kids..And the bills will be paid magically? Life is not black or white.There are some grey areas However u want to do ur family,pls do,but dont take ur personal opinion/choices as a general rule . 2 Likes |

Why all this big grammar? There is a difference between day care/crèche and actual school. As a working mom, I will take my young kids to Day care/crèche/(Nursery/kinder in Nigeria inclusive) before actual school starts at 5/6 which is similar to primary 1 in Nigeria or Kindergarten class in US. There are preschools (ages 3-5) in US. Infant and toddler class also exists. It depends on what your money can afford you. 2 Likes |

NoToPile: 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.

I don't like that idea 1year plus taken to school.. You as a parent should be your kids first teacher. At 3 1/2 years you should have taught them ABC, 123 to 50-100 A - Ant, B - baby etc and nursery rhymes but young parents now want to leave responsibility to teachers why!? 1 Like |

PrimadonnaO: 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. 1 Like |

SarkinYarki:tell safarigirl that please. my lawyer sister that is the advocate of rubbish Nigeria system. Safarigirl, did u enter primary school those days u that u had to put your hand across your head and touch your ear? As crude as the method was, it was to make sure u were 6 before entering primary 1. Talking of formal educational system in Nigeria, shey you know that the formal educational system in Nigeria starts at the primary education. So the 9-3-4 system u touted about is the start of primary education. So all these creche, daycare, nursery school phenomenon are not known to law, they are informal arrangements. I empathise with working mothers, but there are other things they can do. Pay for child minders, househelps or have their relatives around, at least the 1st 3 years of the child's growth. Many mums express breast milk and keep at home for the feeding of the child while they are away, which is same what creche and daycare people do,they just feed the children milk provided by the mums. When u have children, I advice u to make sure they start primary 1 at 6 years. 1 Like |

lilyheaven:those your neighbours are stupid. They should either have taken the child to a different nursery school to while away time and then put the child at primary 1 when the child turns 6. That's the beginning of formal education. No school will reject a 6 year old child primary 1, as it has no prior knowledge requirement. 1 Like |
